Directions

Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone.
Place the pumpkin in a small baking dish. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until it’s reduced to ½ cup.
Set aside to cool.
Cream the coconut oil and the sugars in a mixer until creamy.
Beat in vanilla and pumpkin.
Add the flours, cornstarch, guar gum, pie spice and salt and beat until well blended.
Stir in the cereal and gogi berries to make a rather stiff and dry feeling dough.
Place golf-ball size balls of dough on the sheet and press the tops down slightly.
Bake for 12 minutes, until turning just golden around the edges.
Cool completely on the sheet.
