Simple Almond-Oat Cookies
These almond-oat cookies are perfect for anyone who loves a sweet and crunchy treat. With a simple recipe and only basic ingredients required
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil warmed to a liquid (56g)
- ½ cup maple syrup 160g
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup oat flour 168g (I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oat Flour)
- 1 ½ cups almond flour separated (120g) (I used Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk the oil, maple syrup and almond extract together.¼ cup coconut oil, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Mix in the oat flour until well combined. Add the almond flour a half cup at a time and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined. Add the baking powder with the last half cup of almond flour so it doesn't get overworked.1 cup oat flour, 1 ½ cups almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder
- The result will be a slightly sticky dough. Place in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to firm it up to help you handle it. Anytime it gets too sticky just place back into the freezer for a minute or 2.
- Roll small balls, 10g each, and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- They will puff slightly and will be golden brown on the bottom. With the last batch I made I was able to get exactly 48 10g balls but I'm providing nutritional information for 45 as you will lose some dough to the bowl and your hands. I always like to slightly underestimate just in case.
