Ingredients

3/4 cup white-ww flour (or white or spelt)

6 tbsp plus 1 tsp cocoa powder

scant 1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp maple syrup or agave

3 tbsp milk of choice

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

3 tbsp plus 2 tsp vegetable oil

3 tbsp pureed pumpkin

3 tbsp nut butter of choice

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon sugar

1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients, and mix very well.

Add ingredients 6-9 and mix again to form dough.

In a separate bowl, combine all other ingredients to make the filling.

Using about a heaping tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and then flatten. Place a little scoop of the filling in the center and fold up the sides of the dough. Form into a ball. (The sides might crack a little, but that’s ok. They don’t need to be perfect.)

Bake at 330 F (preheated) for around 10 minutes. They should be a little undercooked when you take them out. Let stand 10 minutes… if you can wait that long!
