Healthy Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 large egg or egg alternative (1 flax egg = 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar (1/2 cup if you like it sweet)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• Optional mix-ins: 1/3 cup vegan/dairy-free chocolate chips, 1/3 cup raisins, or 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the flax egg in a small bowl, if using, and set aside to thicken.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until well combined.
4. In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips, nuts, and dried fruit, if using.
7. Scoop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
10. Enjoy!
