Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (50 grams) quick oats
  • ½ cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
  • cup (34 grams) oat flour
  • ¼ cup (20 grams) ground flax seed
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the quick oats, chopped nuts, oat flour, ground flax seed, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the almond butter, maple syrup, milk, molasses, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the almond butter mixture to the oat mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, scoop the cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple inches of space between each cookie. With wet fingertips, gently flatten each cookie slightly. These cookies don’t really spread, so shape them into the thickness you prefer.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tops are just set. Be careful not to overbake or the cookies will dry out and turn crumbly.
  • Let cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container on the countertop for a few days, in the fridge for 7-10 days, or freeze cookies for up to 6 months.
