Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries (raisins or dates also work)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds OR hemp seeds
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, stir together oats, almond flour, spice blend, baking soda, and salt. Use a spatula to make a well in the center.
  2. Add the egg, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla. Whisk the wet ingredients in the center to break up the egg, then mix everything until a thick dough forms.
  3. Fold in the carrots, dried cherries, coconut, nuts, seeds, and orange zest.
  4. Set the bowl aside for 10 minutes on the counter so the oats can soften and absorb the moisture. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  5. Use a #40 cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) to portion out 12 cookies onto the baking sheet.
  6. These cookies do not spread, so lightly wet your fingertips and gently press the tops to flatten them into cookie shapes.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
