Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg together with pumpkin puree, maple syrup, almond butter, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk until all ingredients are combined.
Add rolled oats and chocolate chips to the pumpkin mixture and give it a good mix, until it all comes to form a cookie dough.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of dough out and shape 9 cookies. Transfer the pumpkin oatmeal cookies to the parchment paper covered baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake in hot oven for 8 to 12 minutes. Let cool over a baking rack before serving.
