No Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies–Worth The Hype

No bake cookies are quick, easy, and require no preheating or baking time.

Spend just a few minutes combining the ingredients and you’ll be enjoying a flavorful cookie in no time.

Best of all, you can customize these cookies to your heart’s content – toss in some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries for an extra layer of flavor.

Plus, oatmeal cookies can be a healthier choice than many other types of cookies:

• Oats are a nutritious whole grain, so these cookies are loaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Oatmeal also aids with digestion, provides energy, and may contribute to a healthier heart.
• Adding nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or dark chocolate chips can increase the nutrient content of these no bake pumpkin spice cookies, complementing the pumpkin flavor as well.
• Use a small scoop and it’s easy to control the portion sizes so you don’t overdo it.
• Since these cookies are made without flour, you can serve them to your gluten free guests. Just be sure to check that your oats are certified gluten free!

How to Make Pumpkin No Bake Cookies

This no bake cookie recipe is really easy to make with simple ingredients. Perfect for this time of year!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Unsalted Butter
• Granulated Sugar
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Salt
• Milk
• Vanilla Extract
• Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• Old-Fashioned Oats

How to Make It:

(Full printable recipe card is available below)

Boil the sugar mixture. First, you’ll combine butter, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, milk, and vanilla in a medium saucepan.

Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to boil. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then turn off the heat.

Add the pumpkin. Next, you’ll add pumpkin puree to the hot mixture and stir to combine.

Shape the cookies. Last, you’ll add oats to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until completely coated.

Scoop mixture out by rounded tablespoon (or you can use a small cookie scoop) onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper.

Use damp fingers to slightly flatten the cookie balls, if desired.

Notes and Adaptations:

• The cookies are less sticky (and easier to handle) once they’ve cooled completely.
• Store leftover cookies in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
• I have only tested this recipe with old-fashioned oats, so I can’t say for sure if quick oats would work just as well.
• You could substitute brown sugar for the white sugar if preferred.
