Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams whole almonds
- 50 grams rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the whole almonds in a food processor and pulse until you achieve a fine almond meal consistency.
Add the rolled oats to the food processor and pulse a few times to combine with the almond meal.
Transfer the almond-oat mixture to a mixing bowl.
Stir in the flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, combining these dry ingredients well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, and water until thoroughly mixed.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be pliable and slightly sticky.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness.
Remove the top parchment sheet and, using a sharp knife, cut the dough into squares or desired shapes.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the almond thins are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Once cooled, break along the cut lines and store the almond thins in an airtight container for up to one week.
