These lightly sweetened cookies are perfect for those mornings when you're running out the door and need something portable, or when you need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. The dried cranberries can be replaced with any dried fruit you love.
Ingredients
¾ cup gluten-free rolled oats
¾ cup almond flour
3 tbsp coconut oil
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped into smaller bits
2 tbsp cacao nibs, optional
½ tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the rolled oats in a blender, food processor or spice grinder and pulse until the oats are ground into a meal. Dump the ground oats into a bowl and add the almond flour, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.
Drop the coconut into the bowl and mash it into the flours with the back of a spoon. The mixture will be crumbly. Pour the maple syrup in and mix well.
Stir in the cranberries and cacao nibs, if using.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Using a ¼-cup measure, scoop the cookies onto the baking sheet and flatten them to about ½-inch thick (I used the back of my measuring cup to flatten them).
Bake for 15 minutes. Makes six cookies.
