Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the chopped almonds, dried cranberries or raisins, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Ensure they are evenly incorporated into the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to shape them into discs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
