Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm Almond Butter and Honey: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the almond butter and honey until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, making it easier to mix with other ingredients.
  2. Mix in Cocoa Powder and Flaxseed: Remove the saucepan from heat, then whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth.
  3. Add Rolled Oats: Stir in the rolled oats until the mixture thickens into a sticky dough that holds together well.
  4. Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to create individual cookie mounds.
  5. Flatten and Prepare to Set: Press each mound lightly with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten the cookies for a classic shape and better setting.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and allow the cookies to chill for at least 30 minutes, or until firm, before serving.

Notes

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version.
  • Feel free to add extras like chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips for variety.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate for a few minutes before scooping to make handling easier.
