Calories: 190kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup steel cut oats (or an additional 1/4 cup of old-fashioned oats)
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup ground flax meal
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup liquid coconut oil*
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar OR brown sugar
- 1/4 cup blue agave syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dried cherries OR raisins
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup nuts chopped, (walnuts, pecans or almonds) or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
- Pulse the walnuts in a food processor until a coarse meal or flour forms; transfer to a large bowl. Add the oats, whole wheat flour, flax meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, whisk to combine.
- Add the almond butter, coconut oil, sugar, agave, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using a large spatula, mix until a sticky dough forms. Fold in the dried fruit, coconut and nuts or chocolate chips. Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a standard size cookie scoop, form dough into balls and place onto the prepared baking sheets. Lightly press down (they won't spread a lot while they bake) to flatten.
- Place in the oven and bake for 7-9 minutes or until the edges become lightly golden brown in color. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*If using coconut sugar, allow it to dissolve in the warm coconut oil for 5 minutes before proceeding with the remaining steps.
-Feel free to swap the almond butter for peanut butter.
-Skip the cinnamon if you're using chocolate chips!
