- 3 tbsp water
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey

- ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:
- Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper, and preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Stir together flax seeds and water. Set aside until the mixture achieves an egg-like consistency.
- Whisk almond flour, baking soda, sea salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl. In another bowl, beat together maple syrup, pumpkin puree, coconut butter, vanilla, and flax seed mixture.
