Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place your almonds, pepitas, and unsweetened coconut flakes in your food processor.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine your nut mixture with the rest of the ingredients.
Mix with a fork until it is clumpy and the pumpkin is combined.
Scoop the mixture into tablespoon sized balls on your parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until the edges and tops of the cookies begin to brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet (this will help them to stay together).
Store in air tight containers and enjoy for a snack or treat. Consider yourself warned though...they're addicting!!
