Equipment
- baking sheets
- Silicone Baking Mats
- Electric mixer
- ¼-cup Measuring Cup
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups quick oats or old-fashioned whole rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup almond butter or peanut butter or sunflower seed butter
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
- ⅓ cup apple butter
- ½ cup mashed banana (about 1 large banana)
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- ½ cup raisins
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Combine all of the ingredients into a large bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer). Mix until all ingredients are combined. The dough is thick and heavy.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, portion ¼ cup mounds of cookie dough (about 70g each) onto prepared cookie sheet. Use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten into cookie shape (the cookies will not spread in the oven).
- Bake for 16–19 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cover leftover cookies and store at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Notes
Cooled cookies can be frozen up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter or in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature or warm in the microwave for a few seconds before serving. Use gluten-free oats for gluten-free cookies.
