Bestanddele en vervangings
You only need a few ingredients to make these cookies:

- Pampoenpuree – Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Homemade pumpkin puree works well too, but ensure it’s not too watery.
- Fyngemaakte piesang – Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness.
- Esdoringstroop – Pure maple syrup provides the best flavor, but other liquid sweeteners like agave syrup or coconut nectar can be used.
- Grondboontjiebotter – You need fresh, unsalted peanut butter for the best consistency and to control sodium levels. Almond butter or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives for different flavors or nut-free options.
- Outydse gerolde hawermout – These provide the best texture. Quick oats can be used for a firmer cookie. For a gluten-free version, ensure you use certified gluten-free oats.
- Gekapte neute – Use a mix of your favorite nuts or seeds. For a nut-free version, try pumpkin seeds or shredded coconut.
- Sjokoladeskyfies – These are optional. You can substitute with dried fruit like raisins or cranberries for added natural sweetness.

I’ve included all the instructions to make these cookies in the recipe card below, but I have a few more tips that didn’t fit:
- Banana Measurement – Mash and pack the banana into a measuring cup for accurate measurement, which is crucial for the right consistency.
- meng – Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- vorming – Use slightly wet hands when shaping the cookies to prevent sticking.
- grootte sake – Keep the cookies to the recommended size. Larger cookies may be more fragile.
- Koeltyd – Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. This helps them set properly.
- stoor – You can store in an airtight container in the fridge for longer freshness. These cookies also freeze well for make-ahead breakfast planning.
