Gluten-Free Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies with Dark Chocolate
These gluten-free pumpkin oatmeal cookies are soft, warmly spiced, and loaded with rich dark chocolate chunks. Hearty oats add texture, while pumpkin keeps them wonderfully tender. Finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, they're the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and cozy fall flavors. Easy to make and even easier to eat! Makes about 2 dozen small cookies.
Equipment
- Hand or stand mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend I prefer Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if flour blend contains it
- ½ cup salted butter room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 extra-large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups certified gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate 60–70% cacao or dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, spices, and xanthan gum if needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until combined. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Fold in oats and dark chocolate chunks.
- Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, portion dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving two inches between cookies. Press a few extra chocolate chunks on top, if desired, and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
