Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cashew butter (or another nut or seed butter)
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or another nut or seed butter)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free as needed)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup nuts we used almonds, chopped
- 1/3 cup dried fruit (we used unsweetened tart dried cherries)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine cashew butter, almond butter, and maple syrup and mix until smooth and thoroughly combined. Add baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar and mix.
- Next add rolled oats, chia seeds, chopped nuts, and dried fruit to the bowl. Stir well to evenly distribute ingredients.
- Using a 1/4-cup cookie scoop or two large spoons, scoop out dough, place dough in your hands, and press slightly between your hands to make a thick, flat cookie about 2 inches in diameter. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet — they will not spread much, so it’s okay if they are close together.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden brown and the tops of the cookies are pale and firm. Let cool slightly before enjoying. They’re delicious with a glass of dairy-free milk!
- Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer up to 1 month.
