Description
A healthy, zesty, and chewy breakfast cookie packed with oats and superfood chia seeds.
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
3 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
2 large lemons, zested and juiced
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Whisk oats, almond flour, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 3: Rub lemon zest into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes fragrant.
Step 4: Mix melted coconut oil, sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla in a small bowl.
Step 5: Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Step 6: Let the dough rest for 15 minutes to allow chia seeds to hydrate.
Step 7: Scoop dough onto the sheet and flatten slightly into cookie shapes.
Step 8: Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Step 9: Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure the dough rests for 15 minutes; this prevents the cookies from crumbling after baking.
