Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kashi cereal (crushed)
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (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 crushed Kashi cereal, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried fruit at this stage.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball gently with the back of a spoon or your hand.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer 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.
