This edible pumpkin cookie dough dip is made with healthy ingredients, and no worries- there is nothing raw in it so that you can enjoy it straight from the bowl.
Quick Pumpkin Cookie Dough
I’m all about keeping something fresh and ready to go on hand for snacking, to the point that I published the Clean Treats Cookbook. Like all the recipes in the book, this pumpkin dough dip is made with healthier ingredients, so I can feel good about serving it to my kids. I like adding chocolate chips because they make it taste more like a treat.
Ingredients
Make sure to make this recipe with pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. There is a big difference in flavor between the two. You’ll also need a bit of maple syrup (honey or stevia also work), coconut flour to hold the dough together, peanut butter (or one of these nut butter alternatives), and pumpkin spice or cinnamon. I like to add chocolate chips, but you can swap them 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
As you’ll see in the video below, to make this healthy pumpkin cookie dough, you just combine the pumpkin with the other ingredients until you get an even consistency. And it’s ready to serve! Any leftovers can be refrigerated in single-serve portions for up to 5 days.
Can You Bake Edible Pumpkin Cookie Dough?
This edible cookie dough is meant to be eaten as a dip, not baked. If you’re looking for a baked treat with pumpkin, I’ve got a delicious pumpkin cookie recipe for you to try. If you love all things pumpkin, try these favorites: gluten-free pumpkin scones, no-bake pumpkin energy bites, and my kids’ favorite pumpkin brownies.
Whether you serve it as a casual snack or at a party, this dip goes great with sliced apples, strawberries, Graham crackers, pretzels, animal cookies, or gingersnaps.

Can cinnamon be left out or replaced with anything?

absolutely. feel free to omit.
Marie says
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 says
apple slices, pear slices, pita chips, or right over yogurt! 🙂
Susan V says
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 says
that works too! I use the ones from whole foods, 365 brand I think!
Eileen says
Is the coconut flour necessary? If I want to leave it out, what can I replace it with?
Thanks!
Laura Fuentes says
Yes, the coconut flour is necessary to give this dip its texture.
Sara says
Is there something that I could substitute for the coconut flour?
Laura Fuentes says
Unfortunately not for this recipe with these measurements. You’ll need about 4x the oat flour.
Patrice says
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 says
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!

I love pumpkin season! I typically make a delicious pumpkin soup.
