I’ve been quite sick this week so all my Halloween/pumpkin cooking went out the window. I was going to whip up some soup with the pumpkin staring at me every time I open the fridge but then thought I’d try experimenting. Pumpkin Choc Chip Biscuits were born. Sounds gross?? Tastes AMAZING and hardly any hint of pumpkin taste at all. My kiddies cant get enough of them. Oh and these are egg free so though with allergies will love these!
You can add choc chips through the dough however I tend to just put a few on top of the biscuit to keep the sugar content down. These have a slight gingerbread taste to these. You can certainly leave out the spices if your kiddies are not fond of the flavour.
The dough is a wet sticky dough but as you pick it up and roll in in your hands into balls it firms up. Your hands do not become sticky.
Below are instructions for both traditional and tmx methods.

OMGeeeee – these are so delicious! I didn’t quite make as many as you have put in the instructions but wow – so fluffy, so full of flavour. I didn’t have cinnamon so I substituted Nutmeg instead! Yummmm….
my kids loved these, thanks for sharing!
Quite moreish with a cakey type texture. The kids at mother’s group devoured half and I may have eaten the rest myself… My mix made 51 biscuits, using walnut-sized balls of dough.
These were on my list of things to do for a while.
The texture, is amazing, almost something between a biscuit and a muffin. They have been a hit with my kids, and I love the spice combination which is in these biscuits
I love the texture. SO glad you liked them 🙂
Just made these, they are delicious and great for my boy with allergies, thank you.
Thank you Stacey! Glad they are allergy friendly!
Yum! Nice light biscuit and tastes like gingerbread! Thank you
Glad you liked them! 🙂
I made a double batch of these yesterday for a “masterchef challenge” for my Year 7 class (along with 4 other teachers who also made other dishes) that the students had to taste, without knowing the name or any details about it. They then had to guess all the ingredients, and write a recipe for it – like they do on masterchef! Not one of the groups guessed Pumpkin as an ingredient!! But there was a lot of “ooh’ and “yum!” going around the class, so thank you for your great (and sneaky) recipe!
