Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup spelt flour or oat flour (90g) (or try these Keto Cookies)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (45g)
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar (100g)
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips or raisins or add-ins of choice (40g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup almond butter or cashew butter (80g) (regular butter also works)
  • 2 tbsp water (30g)
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  • To make the healthy oatmeal cookies, start by preheating the oven to 325 F. If your nut butter is not already easy to stir, gently warm it in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove until thin and runny. Stir dry ingredients in a large bowl, then mix in remaining ingredients. The dough will be dry at first but will form a cookie dough texture after about a minute. So keep stirring and breaking up all clumps of nut butter. For best results, do not add more liquid. Roll into cookie dough balls, and place the balls on two greased baking sheets. Leave space between each ball because they will spread as they cook. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 10 minutes. Let cool before handling, during which time the cookies firm up considerably.
