Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
- Add in the rolled oats, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, cinnamon, and baking soda. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, pressing them slightly to form cookie shapes. These cookies won’t spread much, so make sure they’re the size and shape you want.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, enjoy them as a healthy breakfast on the go or with a cup of coffee or tea.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture.
- Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Don’t overbake, as they’ll continue to cook as they cool.
