Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup almond butter Use a stir-able variety for best results.
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Both work well; honey is floral, while maple syrup is deeper.
  • 2 cups rolled oats Provides a hearty chew.
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon Makes these smell delicious.
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts Optional for added crunch.
  • 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips Optional for added sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil Optional for a smoother mouthfeel.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, stir the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) together until the mixture looks smooth and shiny.
  2. Add the rolled oats and cinnamon, then stir in the chopped nuts (if using), raisins or chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract, and coconut oil (if using). Mix until well combined.
  3. Check the texture and ensure it is thick and packable. If it's loose, stir for another 30-60 seconds.
  4. Scoop portions and shape into cookie rounds, pressing firmly for them to hold together.
  5. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, usually about 30 minutes.
  6. Serve chilled for the best texture.

Notes

Pack the cookies firmly when shaping to avoid crumbliness. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
