These cookies were inspired by Yeah…Immaeatthat‘s healthier m&m cookies. We changed a few ingredients mostly based on the fact that we never seem to have eggs in our house. As a side note, why is it that when you buy eggs you never use them until they go bad, but when you decide to not buy any eggs you always need them? Or so that’s how it goes in our house. Instead of eggs we added more Greek yogurt and an extra dash of coconut oil. The added Greek yogurt definitely gave the cookies that unmistakable Greek yogurt taste, but it also made them more cakey as well. So if you don’t like the taste of Greek yogurt, then these cookies may not be for you. But, if you like pumpkin spice and m&m’s and everything nice then give these cookies a try!
Okay, enough rambling about pumpkin spice flavored things. Now onto the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 & 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup pumpkin spice greek yogurt
- 2.5 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A splash of vanilla almond milk if the batter is dry and the ingredients won’t mix easily*
- 1/4 cup pumpkin spice M&M’s (or if you are like us, just pour as much as you want in!)
*this batter is a more dry batter, so don’t add too much milk, just a splash or two to get everything to mix together
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 ºF. Also, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients (flour to baking powder) in a large bowl. Mix together evenly.
3. In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients (greek yogurt to vanilla extract) and mix together.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until a big dough ball forms. You may need to add a splash of almond milk at this point if the mixture is too dry and not combining.
5. Add in the M&M’s and mix together!
