Equipment
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons oat flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup unsalted natural creamy almond butter
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 3 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries chopped
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons nuts finely chopped
Optional Toppings
- 2-3 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips, cranberries, seeds, nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture. Using a sturdy spatula, stir and fold until well mixed. Fold in Add-in ingredients.
- Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet—spaced evenly apart. Optionally, dot cookies with Optional Toppings. Using a fork, flatten cookies to desired thickness. If cookies crumble at the edges a bit after flattening—use your fingers to squish the edges back together.
- Bake for 11-15 minutes. Mine took 13 minutes. Place baking sheet on a cooling rack, allowing cookies to firm up for about 15 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack. Allow to cool for 1 hour. Storing instructions below. Enjoy!
