What you will need

Almond and Coconut Flour – These are great gluten/grain free flours that help make the cookie dough consistency. These flours are also rich in fiber.

Raw Cashew Butter – This ingredient helps solidify the cookie dough when chilled. Raw cashews are a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and protein. They also have heart health supporting properties.

Vanilla Protein Powder – I love adding protein powder or collagen to my treats to make them more balanced and satisfying. I used a plant based protein powder by Truvani in this pumpkin chocolate chip cookie dough but you can use any protein or collagen you like.

Pumpkin Puree – Pumpkin is such a great food to enjoy during the fall season. It’s rich in fiber, antioxidants, and beta-carotene.

Maple Syrup – This is my preferred sweetener for this recipe but you could also use honey or monk fruit.

Vanilla Extract – This adds a nice flavor to the cookie dough and brings out the sweetness.

Pumpkin Spice – I highly recommend adding some of this spice to the cookie dough to really bring out the pumpkin flavor.

Chocolate Chips – I used some dairy free stevia sweetened chocolate chips in the recipe but you can substitute with regular chocolate chips if you’d like. No judgment here!

Salt – adding a touch of salt balances out the sweet flavor and pairs well with the chocolate.
