I finally pulled out all my fall spices! I have a separate shelf dedicated to them, which is really funny considering I don’t do much baking but I seem to have every type of spice out there that qualifies for fall. I love that warm cozy smell of pumpkin spice, cloves, and vanilla. Reminds me of a good fall candle and fall is probably one of my favorite seasons and also the time I find myself baking more than usual. I blame it on the cold weather

These little cookies are all about fall and they are good for you! Well, not literally but 99% ingredients are clean (not processed). There’s no dairy and they’re also vegan. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started baking these, thinking well there’s no dairy so they’ll probably be super dry and tasteless. But I was completely wrong

Toasted pecans is what holds these cookies together and gives ton of flavor! Combined with pureed pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon and scented with fresh orange juice and zest. Oh and the chopped dates add a nice texture. They are seriously my favorite “no guilt cookie.”
Have them straight out of the oven with a glass of cold milk. Yes, that’s exactly what I did! They taste the best when warm but what cookie doesn’t? Soft and very oatmeal like but not harsh as oatmeal, much lighter and delicate. Your whole house will smell like a good Yankee candle. Super cozy, warm, pumpkin, and vanilla like.
I added a simple orange glaze to give them a little more life but you can go without it as they taste super as is. Store them in medium size mason jar. Keep one for yourself and give one away. They make cute little gifts, especially around holidays
