- 1 - 1/4 cups + 2 Tbsp Gluten-free measure for measure type flour ~ I prefer King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure For Measure Flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder ~ Corn-free if needed
- 3/4 rounded tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 rounded tsp Pumpkin pie spice ~ Homemade recipe in notes
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1 pinch Cloves
- 1/2 cup Firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup Canned pumpkin puree ~ not pumpkin pie filling
- 2 Tbsp Non-dairy milk
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
Sugar For Rolling
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
In a medium mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and a pinch of cloves. Mix well with a whisk.
In a small mixing bowl add the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, non-dairy milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until mixture is smooth.
Add pumpkin mixture to dry ingredients and using a hand mixer, blend until it becomes a thick dough. It is important that this dough is not over-mixed. Once the thick dough forms stop. If mixture is over-mixed the dough will be too soft and hard to form into balls.
In a small dish mix cinnamon and sugar for rolling.
Form balls using about 1 1/2 tbsp of dough. Roll balls in cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place on prepared baking sheets and slightly flatten.
Bake for 11 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container or freezer. Remember, they are soft even when they are frozen.
