Method
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
Place the oats, protein powder, salt and pumpkin spice mix in a bowl and stir well.
Place the melted coconut oil, tahini/nut butter, maple syrup and pumpkin purée in a separate bowl and stir well until smooth.
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Stir well to form a slightly sticky dough. Add more pumpkin puree if the mixture is too dry.
Using an ice cream scoop, take one level spoonful of the mixture. Press it firmly into the spoon to pack the mixture firmly. Scoop onto the baking tray. Press down gently to flatten into a 1 cm thick disc.
Repeat 11 more times until all of the mixture is used up. Press a few dark chocolate chips into the surface of each cookie.
Bake at 180˚C/350˚F for 13 minutes, or until golden brown. Leave to cool undisturbed for 10 minutes on the tray.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
