Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cookie removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well incorporated and free of any lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the honey and almond butter until smooth and fully blended. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula until a cohesive dough forms.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your palm to create a uniform shape, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make the cookies tough and dense.
- For extra nutrition, consider adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely to allow them to set and develop a perfect chewy texture.
- For meal prep, these cookies can be frozen for up to a month - just thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips like milk, dark, or even white chocolate for variety.
