Ingredients

1 cup cooked no-salt-added or low sodium white beans

1/2 cup dates, pitted

2 tablespoons unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla bean powder or alcohol-free vanilla extract

1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 (15 ounce) can pureed pumpkin or squash

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1/2 cup raw sunflower or pumpkin seeds

1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1/4 cup raisins OR 1/4 cup unsweetened grated coconut, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a high-powered blender, puree the beans, dates, non-dairy milk, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Place in a large bowl. Stir in the pumpkin, nuts, seeds, oats and raisins or coconut if using.

Scoop out using a tablespoon scoop and place on a silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Slightly flatten using a fork's tines (like a peanut butter cookie-north/south, east/west.) Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bottom and sides are very lightly browned.

Makes about 30-35 cookies.

Note: If desired, before baking, make an indentation in the top of each cookie and add a teaspoon of 100% all-fruit preserves.
