1 tsp. Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract

1 1/2 cups cups regular rolled oats (not instant) 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 Tbsp. Mild Yellow Curry Powder 1 tsp. Ground Ceylon "True" Cinnamon 1/8 to 1/2 tsp. Ghost Pepper Chile Powder* 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together pumpkin, egg, 2 Tbsp. melted butter and Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract in a small bowl.

Recipe Notes

*1/2 tsp. of Ghost Pepper Chile Powder is the “Trick” version—these will have a spicy ghost pepper kick! Use 1/8 tsp. Ghost Pepper Chile Powder instead for a milder “Treat” version. Make one batch of each and see who can tell the difference!
