Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • Pinch of salt

      • Wet Ingredients

      • 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew butter)
      • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
      • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
      • Zest of 1 lemon
      • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
      • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

      Optional Add-ins

      • 1/4 cup shredded coconut or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the salt through the oats.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry oats bowl. Use a spatula to stir well, ensuring all the oats are coated evenly with the wet ingredients.
  4. Add Optional Toppings: If using, fold shredded coconut or chopped nuts into the oat mixture to add texture and flavor.
  5. Form Cookies: Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape them into cookies by hand or with a spoon, placing them evenly spaced on the parchment.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  7. Serve and Store: Once set, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.

Notes

  • Use nut butter of choice depending on dietary preference or allergy considerations.
  • Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Adding shredded coconut or nuts is optional but enhances texture and flavor.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, add a little extra lemon juice or nut butter to bind better.
  • These cookies must be kept refrigerated and are best eaten within 3-5 days.
