Quick Pumpkin Cookie Dough
This pumpkin cookie dough dip has a good amount of pumpkin spice flavor with the consistency of real cookie dough thanks to the coconut flour and peanut butter. I like adding chocolate chips because they make it taste more like a treat.

Edible Pumpkin Cookie Dough Ingredients
To make this healthy pumpkin cookie dough dip you will need:
- pumpkin puree: make sure you use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. There is a big difference in flavor between the two.
- maple syrup: just enough to sweeten the dip, but not too much. You can also use honey or a few drops of stevia for a sugar-free alternative. Read the recipe notes below on how to make it with stevia.
- coconut flour: highly absorbent and helps the dough hold together, like real cookie dough.
- peanut butter: this helps thicken the consistency. If there is a nut allergy in your family, swap it for one of these nut butter alternatives.
- pumpkin spice: to give it pumpkin spice flavor, but cinnamon works too.
- chocolate chips: the chocolate is optional, but my kids love it in this recipe. You can swap for chopped nuts or enjoy this dip plain.
This recipe calls ½ cup pumpkin puree, but don’t toss out the leftovers! I have an entire post on what to make with leftover pumpkin puree, so none of it goes to waste.
How to Make Edible Pumpkin Cookie Dough

Fold the chocolate into the pumpkin mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed into the dip. - Serve

Could I use another type of fat instead of nut butter? Say maybe coconut oil, or vegetable oil?
Laura Fuentes
I have not tried this recipe without it.
Tara
Can cinnamon be left out or replaced with anything?
Laura Fuentes
absolutely. feel free to omit.
Marie
This looks really good, but I’m not sure what to dip it in. Veggies seem odd… (I’m thinking veggies & cookie dough? 🙂
My favorite pumpkin recipe – pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!
Laura Fuentes
apple slices, pear slices, pita chips, or right over yogurt! 🙂
Susan V
What brand of stevia drops do you use, Laura? I have the powdered Stevia that I use for my coffee and tea – would that work?
Laura Fuentes
that works too! I use the ones from whole foods, 365 brand I think!
Eileen
Is the coconut flour necessary? If I want to leave it out, what can I replace it with?
Thanks!
Laura Fuentes
Yes, the coconut flour is necessary to give this dip its texture.
Sara
Is there something that I could substitute for the coconut flour?
Laura Fuentes
Unfortunately not for this recipe with these measurements. You’ll need about 4x the oat flour.
Patrice
So, if I used oat flour, would I then need 1/2 C (if I replaced the coconut flour)? I have oat flour on hand, not coconut flour.
Laura Fuentes
I have not tried this recipe with oat flour. As a general rule of thumb, I always recommend finding another recipe all together since coconut flour-based recipes have been specifically developed to use it in the ratios. Sorry!
Olivia
I love pumpkin season! I typically make a delicious pumpkin soup.
