Healthy Seedy Power Cookies
Ingredients:
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup almond butter (or any nut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- Optional Add-ins:
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- 1/4 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, chia seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well mixed. The mixture will be thick and slightly sticky. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried fruit.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to shape them into rounds.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Enjoy!
