Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Spatula
  • Baking tray
  • Baking paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin purée
  • 1 Banana
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/4 cup Corn flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin spice
  • Icing sugar to roll the cookies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃ and line a cookie tray with baking paper.
  • In a mixing bowl add the pumpkin puree, banana and mash well. Add the olive oil, vanilla and mix again. Pour over the castor sugar and mix to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, corn flour and fold together to form a dough.
  • You should be able to portion out the dough with your hands into around 14 pieces. Roll each piece between your palms and dunk into powdered sugar. Place on a lined baking tray and repeat until all 14 pieces are done.
  • Bake at 180℃ for 10-12 mins. They will still be soft when you remove them from the oven, which is what we want. Leave to cool for 2-3 mins on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use sweet potato purée if you like in place of the pumpkin purée.
  • The banana must be ripe or over ripe.
  • You cannot substitute the icing sugar as its this sugar that gives it the crinkle look once it bakes.
  • Homemade pumpkin spice blend is here if you don’t have access to it where you live.
