Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup oats Use rolled or quick oats.
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (like almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • a pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup To taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, chopped nuts, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Using your hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking tray and flatten it slightly. Repeat with the remaining mixture, leaving enough space between cookies for them to spread during baking.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are firm.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For nut allergies, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
