These Oatmeal Pumpkin Spice Cookies are perfect for the fall and will leave your whole smelling of pumpkin pie. 

These cookies here were made in my Air Fryer, however you can also make them just the same in the oven of you like.

No need to heat up the whole house when and air fryer is present. That is my motto! 

We love pumpkin cookies around here, however I wanted to try them without flour.

So I substituted that for oatmeal and an 2 eggs. And it turned out better than I thought they would. 

They are a bit chewy but soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Making for something that tastes somewhat like a muffin/cookie. 

Made with just a few simple ingredients, which are: pumpkin filling, oatmeal, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice and salt. 

I shared these cookies with some friends of the family and they were given 5 stars by all. Pretty awesome, as this was the first time I ever made them and came up with this recipe myself on a whim. 

Or rather craving for a healthy fall treat!
