Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup rolled oats Use quick oats for a softer texture.
  • 1/2 cup almond butter A creamy base that binds everything together.
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (chopped) Walnuts, almonds, or cashews work beautifully.
  • 1/2 cup mixed seeds Such as sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
  • 1/4 cup honey Natural sweetness to tie all the flavors together.
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips A sweet surprise that elevates every bite.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt To balance the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients to ensure a smooth baking experience.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mixing
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  2. In another bowl, mix rolled oats, chopped nuts, mixed seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. This dough will be slightly sticky but manageable.
Shaping
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.
  2. Gently flatten each ball with a spoon to form cookie shapes.
Baking
  1. Place in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden.
  2. Let them cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  3. Enjoy them warm or store them for later!

Notes

Tips for Perfecting Nut & Seed Energy Cookies: Consider using peanut or sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes if it's too sticky. You can also add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
