Gluten and Dairy Free Pumpkin Cookies

These gluten and dairy free pumpkin cookies are the perfect taste of fall wrapped up into one cookie! They’re gluten free, dairy free, and delicious!

These pillowy pumpkin cookies are made with simple ingredients, and if I didn’t tell you that they were gluten and dairy free I sweat you wouldn’t know because of how delicious they are! I don’t have to avoid gluten and dairy myself, yet these are my go-to pumpkin cookies in the fall!

Extra soft, a little sweet, and packed with extra nutrition from the pumpkin puree, banana, and flax seeds. Most cookies contain little to no fiber, but when you add pumpkin you’re getting more fiber, vitamin A, C and potassium per bite! 

These gluten and dairy free pumpkin cookies have a nice soft and moist texture.  You can feel good knowing they’re made with without a ton of sugar, and that at majority of the sweetness is coming from the banana.

I knew this pumpkin recipe was a winner when I had someone who does not usually eat gluten or dairy free treats and they thought they were delicious too! Win! I’ve made them a couple of times now with both white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips and a combination of both–you really can’t go wrong!

If this pumpkin recipe is giving you all the feels, I know you will love this one for gluten free pumpkin chickpea blondies, and this recipe gluten free pumpkin banana bread!

And if you’re like me and try to put pumpkin in as many things as possible all fall long, you’ve got to grab a copy of my Once Upon a Pumpkin Cookbook featuring 50+ recipes including gluten free pumpkin recipes, dairy free recipes and paleo pumpkin recipes.
