Buttery soft roll cookies filled with naturally sweetened pumpkin butter. These vegan pumpkin cookies are not overly sweet, contain no refined sugar and make great diabetic friendly cookies, snacks or desserts. They are pretty much a homemade vegan version of fig rolls or Fig Newtons with spiced date pumpkin filling.<\/p>\n\n\n

The good thing about pumpkin is that its natural sweetness contributes much to sweeten goodies without the need for refined sugar. A handful of dates and a ripe pear incorporated in my previously featured pumpkin butter recipe<\/strong><\/a> were all that were needed to round off the flavours and make this butter palatably mellifluous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it\u2019s the season where it\u2019s all about pumpkin, I am delivering some more treats (as promised, although a little bit later than anticipated). These pumpkin butter roll cookies are not overly sweet and, just like the butter, they are naturally sweetened with no refined sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do have a similar recipe<\/a> for these date pumpkin roll cookies. But we decided it was time to make a video for this scrumptious recipe. I\u2019ve also brought a slight change to the biscuit recipe by using oil instead of vegan margarine (the latter may not be available everywhere) and a touch of maple syrup instead of sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do like your cookie sweeter add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar instead. On the other hand, you can omit the maple syrup altogether if you are trying to reduce any added sweetener. You may also make the butter filling a little sweeter with some additional dates. These roll cookies are diabetic friendly \u2014 eat in moderation though \u2014 and you don\u2019t miss the refined sugar at all.<\/p>\n\n\n
