Is there such a thing as TOO much pumpkin in the fall? We don't think so! This recipe combines two of our favorite flavors, Sacha Inchi and pumpkin, and we couldn't be happier 😊Â
This sweet and rich cookie might taste like dessert, but it doesn't skimp on nutritious ingredients either. We've included ingredients that provide an extra boost of protein, fiber, omega 3s, vitamins, minerals, AND antioxidants!
Get into the autumn spirit and bake these up on a blustery day! Be sure to tag @brassrootsfood so we can see your creation and share :)Â

Instructions:

- Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the over and let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.Â

NOTES:
*To make a flax/chia egg: mix 1 tbsp flax or chia seed with 3 Tbsp water. Let sit for 10 minutes until firm.Â
**We use unsweetened Sacha Inchi Butter to control the sweetness, but feel free to experiment with the classic or even the chocolate for a delicious twist!
