In reply to Racheal.

Turned out more cake like and I even added more oat flour. I used chopped dried prunes instead of craisens. Love the taste. Next time I will try oats instead of oat flour for convenience. Thank you for healthy recipe!

Very good but IMPORTANT NOTE: do not use raw pepitas. They are too chewy and need to be roasted first. Otherwise it’s great.

In reply to Lindsay. You could call them "alien cookies" for school. The kids will be delighted :-D

In reply to Lindsay. Thanks for this tip. I was just about to ask what could be subbed in for the sweet potato, because here in Italy you can't get them except in the winter. I'm going to try these with canned pumpkin!!

I made this recipe 2 days ago with some slight modification (because I don’t have some of the ingredients). I used Safawi dates instead of maple syrup, toasted and chopped walnuts instead of pepitas, raisins instead of Craisins, and all purpose flour instead of oat flour. It turned out great – soft, fluffy and muffin-like texture. My husband calls it a “coffin” because “cookies + muffins” LOL.

My 20 months old toddler didn’t really like the chopped walnuts and raisins (she’d spit them out but eats the rest of the cookie). Maybe they’re too big, so I guess I’ll blend the nuts or pepita and chop the raisins finely next time for her.

Overall, great recipe! Love that it uses whole foods.

Made these tonight and they are good! I wanted them as a dessert so I did chocolate chips instead of raisins . Is there a substitute for the pepitas? I don’t love the texture of them in the cookie.
