I got this recipe here:

https://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/crunchy-pumpkin-cookies-recipe/1/print/

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
2 1/3 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans

Heat oven to 350º. Mix brown sugar, margarine and shortening in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and egg. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in pumpkin seeds.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet; flatten slightly.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely on wire rack.

I used Splenda brown sugar blend. I think that it definitely affected the way these cookies came out. They are GOOD, but they are NOT crunchy. I may try these again using (real) brown sugar and see how they are.

Thanks for playing.

Correction: If you want 100% vegan you have to choose a different type of protein ) best alternative is hemp, but it is quite expensive. There is to much controversy with soya, especially for men and rice protein is really hard to get.

Ingredients:

Steel cut oats – (you can use rolled oats if you prefer, but steel cut are healthier)
Whey Protein – (any brand and taste you enjoy)
Alfalfa powder – (I found this taste best from other chlorophyll sources)
Blueberries/Cherries (or both!) – you can alternate with cranberries, strawberries or my favorite – goji berries.
Cinnamon – make sure it’s Ceylon cinnamon (Scientific name: Cinnamomum verum)
Cocoa powder – alternatively you could use chocolate bytes (but that will add more calories, especially if it has sugar)
Stevia sweetener – make sure it’s 100% stevia and atleast 85-90% stevioside purity (alternatively you can use sucralose or acesulfame-k)
Bananas – optional!
