Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew, or sunflower)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all components.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the nut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Mix thoroughly until the dough is well combined and holds together.
- Shape cookies: Scoop the cookie dough into 12 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press each ball down gently to form flat cookie shapes.
- Bake and cool: Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy with a cold glass of almond milk!
