Easy to make pumpkin cookies full of oats, pumpkin puree, dried cranberries, and pecans! A tasty no bake cookie you can feel good about eating!

Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies | These healthy pumpkin cookies are the perfect no bake fall treat!I’d like to say that fall baking season is here, but we’ve had several near 90 degree days here in Denver this week and my oven is not about to be turned on. Luckily I missed most of the overly warm weather while I was visiting Cleveland, which happened to be having amazing weather. So until temperatures get back into the 70’s I think I’ll stick to making these Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Cookies.

I’m not going to lie, I went to Bath and Body Works last week and all those pumpkin candles and their sweet fall smells sucked me in like a kid at the candy store! I managed to have some self control and only walked out with a couple, but I know I’ll be back. My house currently smells like a combination of pumpkin and apple and I’m not hating it, even if it is 85 degrees outside.

Instead of baking something with the remaining pumpkin puree I decide to make a new variation of my Healthy No Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.

I added a couple more warm spices like cloves and ginger, then replaced the raisins with dried cranberries. I love pumpkin and dried cranberries together!

The cookies were just as delicious as the oatmeal raisin version, but with a fall twist. I store mine in an airtight container in the freezer and whenever a sweet craving hits I grab one for a quick snack or after dinner treat. They really are perfect treat to make in this summery/fall mix of weather!

      I hear ya Julianne. We keep alternating between hot and cooler weather, typical Colorado. No bake cookies are definitely the way to go until the weather makes up it's mind! ;-)
