Tips:

  • Use a food processor to blend the pumpkin purée, protein powder, and oats. This will create a smooth and even batter.
  • Add a little bit of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for extra protein and creaminess.
  • For a sweeter cookie, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup.
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:
