Ingredients

1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) 1 egg 3 Tbsp. melted butter, divided

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

Mild Yellow Curry Powder (Salt-Free)

Ground Ceylon Cinnamon

Ghost Pepper Chile Powder (Bhut Jolokia)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together pumpkin, egg, 2 Tbsp. melted butter and Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Scoop 1-inch size balls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 12 to 15 min. until lightly browned. Remove from oven and brush lightly with remaining melted butter. Allow to cool slightly on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

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!
