  • 1/2 cup oat flour Use certified gluten-free for gluten-free cookies.
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins, or other dried fruit Customize based on preference.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds or other seeds/nuts Substitute with sunflower seeds or walnuts if desired.
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large mashed banana or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter Coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 3 tablespoons coconut nectar/syrup, honey, or other liquid sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk or other milk of choice Substitute with soy or oat milk if necessary.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325ºF (165ºC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, dried fruit, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in the mashed banana, coconut oil, coconut nectar, and almond milk until everything is well mixed.
  4. Let the mixture rest for 4–5 minutes to help the chia and flax bind everything together. If the dough is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons more milk.
Baking
  1. Measure out the dough by scant 1/4 cupful and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. These cookies don’t spread much, so flatten the tops slightly if desired.
  2. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Serving & Storage
  1. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 2–3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month.
  2. These cookies are great for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. Enjoy alone or with yogurt or fresh fruit. Warm in the microwave before serving if desired.

Notes

Customize dried fruits and nuts based on your preferences. For added flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or nutmeg. You can also add chocolate chips or shredded coconut for variety.
