Sweet, wholesome and full of fiber--you'll love these cookies for breakfast OR dessert!
Servings 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 TBSP ground flax seed mixed wih 3 TBSP water
- 1/4 cup plant milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat or oat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 cup finely diced apple
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Almond Maple Glaze (optional)
- 2 TBSP almond butter
- 2 TBSP maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Stir ground flax seed and water together in a small bowl and let sit.
- Mix almond flour and maple syrup together in a large bowl.
- Add the flax egg, milk, and vanilla. Then add all the dry ingredients and the diced apple. Let sit for a few minutes for the flour to absorb some of the liquid.
- Form 20-25 cookies with a cooke scoop or two spoons and fill up the baking sheet with rows of cookies. Flatten slightly with wet fingers.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let cool completely on the pan before eating.
- If you'd like to add the glaze (for more of a dessert than a breakfast cookie) stir the almond butter and maple syrup together, and spread a little on each cookie.
Notes
If you'd like a stronger nut flavor, toast walnuts or pecans first. You can do this by microwaving them on a plate for 1 minute until fragrant, or putting them in a dry skillet until toasted.
