Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (unsweetened and creamy)
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons water
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a flax 'egg'.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the flax 'egg' to the wet mixture and stir until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dollop slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand to create a cookie shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for longer storage.
