Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

If you're looking for a quick, cozy fall treat that still feels healthy-ish — these cookies are it. They're soft, spiced, full of flavor, and made with pumpkin, oats, Greek yogurt, and just enough chocolate chips to keep things fun.

This recipe is inspired by Sally's Baking Addiction — with a few tweaks to make them feel more like me. I added Greek yogurt for extra moisture and protein, and threw in dried cranberries for that perfect chewy tang.

My whole family loved these. They’re thick, hearty, and super satisfying — and they take less than 30 minutes start to finish.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (115g) pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

• ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt

• ¾ cup (95g) whole wheat or all-purpose flour

• 1½ cups (128g) old-fashioned rolled oats

• ⅛ tsp ground cloves

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, coconut sugar, Greek yogurt, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all the spices. Stir in the chocolate chips and cranberries.

4. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. The batter will be thick!

5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your baking sheet and gently flatten into cookie shapes.

6. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges.

7. Let cool for 3 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips & Variations
