Ingredients
1 ½ cups rolled oats
1 cup almond flour
⅓ cup coconut oil (melted)
⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup raisins
Optional: ¼ cup chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Stir in almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until a soft dough forms.
4. Fold in raisins and any optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the baking sheet and gently flatten each one.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Let the cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their soft texture.
If using a flax egg, let it sit for at least 5 minutes after mixing to fully gel.
For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let them firm up while cooling.
