4 cups of flour
2 2/3 cups rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
4 Tablespoons molasses
2 cups canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
This is a recipe I got online that I modified to taste...better! The ginger is key!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
In a separate larger bowl, mix together the sugar, oil, molasses, pumpkin, and vanilla.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Fold in the walnuts.
Place on a greased sheet, by the tablespoon full. Flatten them a little. You can cook a whole bunch on one baking sheet because they don't spread out a lot.
Rotate the sheet halfway through cooking.
Bake for about 12 minutes. They will be a little soft coming out but will get really chewy and good as they cool on a cooling rack.
