These pumpkin cookies are easy to make and just 3 ingredients. They are also low carb and keto-friendly. The cookie dough can be easily mixed by hand, no electric mixer needed. They are an easy sweet dessert.
These cookies are an easy dessert or snack when you’re craving something a little sweet. The cookie dough took me only five minutes to make. The cookies can be enjoyed as is or you can also add mix-ins and spices to make the cookies even more flavorful.
Ingredients
- Pumpkin Puree
- Superfine Almond Flour
- Erythritol Granular
I used canned pumpkin puree but you can use homemade pumpkin puree as well.
Make sure to use superfine almond flour and not regular almond flour. I have not tested this recipe with any other flours or flour alternatives.
Erythritol granular can be substituted with other granular sweeteners like Lakanto monkfruit or Swerve. If you are not on a keto diet, you can also use regular granular sugar.
Cookie Variations
This is a very basic pumpkin cookie recipe. They are tasty plain, but you can easily add an extra ingredient or two to make them even more flavorful.
- Add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to make them taste more like pumpkin pie cookies.
- Mix in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to give them more sweetness and flavor.

Keto Pumpkin Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup (137 g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup (48 g) erythritol granular
- 1/3 cup (79 g) pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, add almond flour and erythritol. Stir until evenly mixed. Add in pumpkin and stir until pumpkin is fully incorporated and a sticky dough forms.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough balls and place onto prepared cookie sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Press down on dough balls with the palm of your hand until they form round disks, about 1/2 inch thick. You can use your fingers to smooth and round the edges of the disks as needed.
- Bake cookies for about 15-17 minutes, or until edges are brown. The tops of the cookies may still feel soft, but that is okay. Let cookies cool completely on cookie sheet. When they are cooled, the exterior of the cookies should firm up. Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- The cookies are lightly sweetened but not super sweet. If you desire sweeter cookies, you can add 2 more tbsp of sweetener to the batter, or mix in chocolate chips, or add an icing on top of the cookies.
- You can also add cinnamon or pumpkin spice to make the cookies taste like pumpkin pie cookies.
- I used erythritol granular but other granular sweeteners should work like Swerve or Lakanto Monkfruit.
- I used So Nourished erythritol sweetener granular*

If I add cinnamon, do I just sprinkle a little on top of each cookie before baking or do I add a specific amount within the batter? If so, how much please?
Thank you
We recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon depending on how much cinnamon flavor you want.
Quick, easy and delicious. I used Gold Monk Fruit/Erythritol (brown sugar substitute) and added a pinch of pumpkin pie spice. It satisfied my craving for all the sugary pumpkin spice baked goods that appear in the stores this time of year. Thank You for the great recipe.
We’re so glad you loved the recipe!
I used granular swerve and thought they were awful. I’m not sure what I did wrong but they are not even edible. This is my first attempt baking low carb.
We’re sorry you didn’t enjoy them – did you make any other subs besides the sugar?
husband says not pumpkin enough for him.
Sorry to hear that!
Hi canI use solid pumpkin from a can instead of pureee. Or can I make purée from a cant thanks
Yes, canned pumpkin puree works fine.
Very quick and easy to make and totally delicious! Thank you.
We’re happy you liked the recipe!
Very quick and easy to make and totally delicious! Thank you ??
Hello! I have a question: can I use oat flakes flour instead of almond flour?
We have not tested this recipe with any other flours or flour alternatives.
These cookies are very good. I tried rolling them in cinnamon and artificial sugar like snickerdoodles and they turn out really sweet and delicious. I am going to make these cookies alot more. Thanks for the recipe.
I’m so glad they worked out well for you!
I have regular almond flower. How can I make it fine?
Thank you
Sorry, but we haven’t tried that so can’t say for sure how it will work.
Pumpkin puree is not keto
to the best of my knowledge, pumpkin puree is keto-friendly. You just need to watch the amount consumed. This recipe uses very little pumpkin puree.
It’s a squash. So, yeah, it’s an acceptable vegetable. Honest!
Hmmmm…my granddaughter- 13 – is keen to make a batch herself.
We liked them very much we added choc chip oh yep YUM!
I’m so glad they worked out for your granddaughter!
Super !!!!! me encantantan estas recetas
I’m so glad you liked it
It looks like it must be a soft, rather than crisp, texture? Thanks for all your wonderful recipes. They really are amazing!
the cookies are firm
