Gluten Free Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Doesn’t the name alone just draw you in? It simply wraps up all the best tings about Fall. Well, it least in the food department: pumpkin, chocolate, cookies, decadent, home-baked. Ugh, all my Fall favorites.
Are Gluten Free Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies healthy?
These Gluten Free Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are healthier than most! They are made with gluten free flour (duh), grass-fed butter, rich dark chocolate, nutrient-rich pumpkin, delicious spices, pasture-raised eggs, and so much more. So, I definitely deem them to be a “healthier” cookie recipe. Actually, they’re much healthier than the traditional recipe, which is typically high in sugar and calories and very inflammatory.
Alternatively, this recipe is filled with essential vitamins and minerals. Pumpkin is filled with vitamin A, potassium, and zinc, all of which are important for healthy mind and body. Using grass-fed butter, pasture-raised eggs, coconut sugar, and Ceylon cinnamon create a rich and delicious, yet anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich sweet treat.
What You Need to Make This Recipe
- Pumpkin puree
- Gluten free flour (I like this one)
- Grass-fed butter

Most of these ingredients you’ll probably have on hand already. That being said, this recipe a quick and convenient sweet treat for your random Tuesday night sweet tooth craving!
