Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (raisins or cranberries)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: Combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, dried fruits, and a pinch of sea salt in a large bowl. This creates the hearty base you’ll build upon.
- Warm the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the natural nut butter and maple syrup (natural) until smooth and easy to stir. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract (natural).
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the warm nut butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly, ensuring everything is evenly coated and starts to stick together.
- Chill and Set: Using a spoon, drop cookie-sized dollops onto a parchment-lined tray, then press gently to flatten. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the natural gelling agent activates and the cookies firm up.
- Enjoy or Store: Once set, these cookies are ready to enjoy instantly or to be stored for quick breakfasts later in the week.
Notes
- Use freshly chopped nuts for the best crunch and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup (natural) to your preference.
- Press cookies firmly when shaping to help them hold together better.
- Pre-soak chia seeds in water for 10 minutes if a softer texture is preferred.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
