Wet Ingredients
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (sub: mashed banana for sugar-free)
¼ cup coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-Ins (Pick 1-2)
½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
½ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
2 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds(optional for omega-3s)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, stir honey, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Fold Together
Pour wet mix into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Toss nuts/fruit with 1 tsp flour (to prevent sinking), then fold into dough.
Let dough rest 10 mins so oats absorb moisture for a chewier texture!
5. Bake to Perfection
Scoop 1-tbsp portions onto the sheet. Flatten slightly (they won’t spread much).
Bake 10–12 mins until edges are golden.
For crispier cookies, bake 2 mins longer; for softer, remove at 10 mins.
