Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts (chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
- 1/2 cup natural nut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, dried fruits, salt, and natural gelling agent, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. This dry mix forms the hearty and textural foundation for your cookies.
- Prepare the binder: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the natural nut butter, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth. This luscious mixture will hold all your dry ingredients together and add that irresistible creaminess and sweetness.
- Combine and stir: Pour the binder over the dry ingredients, then use a spatula or spoon to mix until the oats and nuts are fully coated and the mixture sticks together when pressed. This step is key to having cookies that hold their shape without baking.
- Shape the cookies: Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and press them firmly into rounds on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Make sure each cookie is compact to avoid crumbling.
- Chill and set: Place the shaped cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the natural gelling agent can do its magic, making sure the cookies are firm and ready to grab whenever hunger strikes.
Notes
- Use room temperature nut butter for easier mixing and better binding.
- Chop nuts and dried fruits finely to improve texture and prevent crumbling.
- Press cookies firmly to ensure they hold together well without baking.
- Refrigerate cookies sufficiently to achieve a firm texture.
- Customize sweetener by trying date syrup or brown rice syrup (natural) as alternatives.
