Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well so everything is evenly distributed and ready for the wet ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly runny.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the dough comes together into a sticky, cohesive batter. Add dark chocolate chips here if you like.
  5. Scoop and Shape Cookies: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to help the cookies bake evenly.
  6. Bake and Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to make mixing easier and ensure even texture.
  • Don’t overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool, so remove when edges are just golden.
  • Measure ingredients accurately, especially flours and oats, to maintain the perfect balance of chewiness.
  • Fold in nuts, seeds, or superfoods at the end for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and soft.
