Maple Oat Cookies
Servings 12 small cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond meal (see above how to make your own)
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, stir together the almond meal, oats and salt. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until a uniform dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized cookies onto the baking sheet. Use your hands to flatten them (they will not spread), making sure they keep their shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges JUST start to turn light golden brown. Allow to cool for a bit so they hold together.
Notes
Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Cookies
1. The cookies may not seem done, but will firm up as they cool. It's better to undercook them then overcook them, unless you like a super crunchy cookie.2. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
3. For a nut-free option, substitute pumpkin seed or sunflower seed meal (details in questions above)
4. These cookies make amazing ice cream sandwiches!
5. Double the recipe and freeze half for emergency cookies!
