Hold on to your hats ladies and gents, we’re just getting started with the pumpkin around here. For those of you that don’t care for pumpkin much (who are you?) don‘t worry, I won’t be getting TOO pumpkin wasted over here… but you can likely expect something pumpkin once a week for the next couple months. It’s just that TIME. I have too many pumpkin ideas written down for my own good, but you can bet I’ll try to share with you as many of them as I possibly can. Baking during this time of year is just the best, don’t you agree?
I kind of can’t believe we’re already at the end of September. I know I know, everyone always says this at the end of every month. But for real… where did this month GO? I haven’t even been to a cider mill yet to get apples and fresh donuts! Okay, need to calm down… there’s still time.
It’s just fall does not last long enough around here in the Midwest. Not to mention weather these days is just crazy and you never know what you’re gonna get (like a box of chocolates…).
Okay, enough chit chat let’s talk about this PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP SKILLET COOKIE.
I busted out my baby skillet for you guys again, and per request over on the ‘gram, whipped up this pumpkin-based treat! I kind of love it a lot and think you guys will too.
It’s simple and perfect for when you really want some dessert after din, but don’t feel like baking an entire batch of cookies. The mini skillet cookie may be big enough to share with your SO, but I would 100% not blame you for keeping it to your self. It’s just really, really hard to share desserts you know?
here’s what you need
- canned pumpkin
- coconut sugar
- pure maple syrup
- favorite natural nut or seed butter
- coconut oil
- egg yolk
- vanilla extract
- gluten-free all purpose flour (or whole wheat white flour)
- baking soda
- salt
- chocolate chips
Today’s recipe features some ingredients that I always have on hand in my kitchen, thanks to my friends over at NOW Foods.
Baking with coconut sugar and pure maple syrup is great if you’re trying to avoid refined sugars, and their organic vanilla extract is awesome. Another thing I love about NOW is their products are high quality AND affordable. If you’re not familiar with NOW, check them out!
So like I said, this pumpkin cookie skillet is really easy! You can mix all of your ingredients in one medium-sized bowl and then just transfer into a greased mini skillet and bake for about 15-20 minutes. This cookie skillet can be made with either all-purpose gluten-free flour, or all whole wheat white flour. I tested this recipe both ways, same ratio of ingredients and no noticeable difference! –> both delicious and had to stop myself from eating them all…

PrintPumpkin Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
- Yield: 1 1x
- Category: Dessert
Ingredients
- 3 TBS pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin)
- 3 TBS coconut sugar
- 1 TBS pure maple syrup
- 2 TBS nut or seed butter
- 1/2 TBS oil (I used avocado, but melted/liquid coconut works too)
- large egg yolk*
- 1/2 tsp organic vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (or whole wheat white)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- dash of cloves and all spice, if you wish
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 TBS dairy-free dark chocolate chips (I used a mix of mini and regular)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease a mini 6″ cast iron skillet well with oil, set aside.
- In a medium bowl stir together pumpkin, sugar, and maple syrup. Add in nut/seed butter, melted oil, egg yolk and vanilla and stir until evenly combined.
- Stir in flour, spices, baking soda, and salt, mix well. Batter will not be like traditional cookie dough, it will be thick and sticky. Add in chocolate chips, then pour batter into grease skillet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until edges are slightly browned.
- Serve with your favorite ice cream and share with your person! Or don’t…
Notes
*You can try subbing egg yolk with another tablespoon of oil, or use 1/2 TBS flaxseed + 1 1/2 TBS water to make vegan, but I have not tested this yet myself. If you do try, would love to hear from you!

ALL my foodie friends’ baking is quickly becoming one of my favorite things about fall; I love the cool evenings with my family eating dinner on the porch too; it’s still warm here so we can still eat outside. But the evenings are cool! And I would have never thought of doing a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie in a skillet; genius Ashley! 🙂
Ashley says
Thanks so much Emily! The skillet cookies are just too fun 🙂
Corrine says
Oh this looks perfect! Love a good skillet cookie and this looks perfect for a midwest autumn!
Ashley says
It’s definitely perfect for this time of year! Thanks Corrine!

I share the same pumpkin sentiments. Seriously OBSESSED and find it hard to be friends with anyone who isn’t. Post the pumpkin goodness girlfriend. This looks stupid good. STUPID.
Pal says
TASTY!!!! I made this in regular sized ramekins and aside from me under-cooking them, I really enjoyed their flavor. Just means I need to do it again, KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING, BUD?! <3
Dana says
Any way to cook this is something besides a cast iron skillet if you don’t have one….. ? 🙂
Ashley says
Yes! One of my friends baked them in 4 small greased ramekins–maybe 4oz size? Though I don’t recall the time she baked them at… I would check them after 10 minutes and go from there! Hope that helps Dana 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions!
Iva@culinary postcards says
Really want to try this one! Pls tell me is it only 1/2TBS oil, because that sounds little to me!? Thx!
Ashley says
Yes, that is correct – just 1/2 tablespoon oil. The pumpkin helps keep it moist 🙂
Carrie says
This looks amazing! I purchased the skillet. I’m ready to make this for my bday. 10/15. I realized the video has almond flour and recipe has whole wheat. I have spelt flour is that ok? If I made this for 2- should I use bigger skillet? I’m new at baking so I apologize for the stupidity. Lol I love everything pumpkin and this is my first time using a cast iron skillet. Thank you!
Carrie says
I watched the video again and it has 2 eggs- and recipe says yolk and 1. Help. Lol
Ashley says
Hi Carrie – so sorry for the confusion there! I believe you are watching a video for a different recipe > Paleo Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookie
The linked recipe and video is for a 10″ skillet. The one here is just for the 6″ skillet and everything listed should be in the recipe card. If you want to double the recipe, I would use an 8″ skillet, but 10″ might be okay – the cookie will just be thinner.
Hope that helps!
Ashley says
And yes spelt flour is okay for the 6″ skillet recipe!
Allison says
I made this today and it turned out great! Just in case this helps others, I only have a 12-inch cast iron skillet and tripled the recipe to be on the safe side. I baked it for 23 minutes. It worked perfectly and can’t wait to enjoy for dessert tonight. Love all your recipes, especially all your healthier desserts!
