Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir these together to evenly distribute all the dry components.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the honey and melted coconut oil thoroughly until fully combined, creating a smooth liquid base for the cookie dough.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir well to form a sticky, consistent dough without any dry patches.
- Add Raisins and Nuts: Gently fold in the raisins and chopped nuts to evenly disperse the sweet and crunchy add-ins throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, watching for a golden brown color on the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, they are ready to enjoy or store.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the wet ingredients prematurely.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent cookies from sticking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Feel free to swap nuts for seeds if preferred for a nut-free option.
