Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cookie removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, turmeric powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly and break up any potential clumps.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the coconut oil. Once melted, add maple syrup and mix well to create a smooth liquid base.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a cohesive dough forms. The consistency should be slightly sticky but moldable.
- Fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to create a uniform shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Prepping Ahead: To save time in the morning, prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate it. Just scoop and bake in the morning for fresh cookies!
- Nut Alternatives: Feel free to swap in your favorite nuts or seeds. Pecans, hazelnuts, or even pumpkin seeds can add a unique twist to the flavor profile.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of maple syrup according to your taste. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, start with 2 tablespoons and add more if desired.
- Baking Sheet Preparation: Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This will also help in achieving that perfect golden-brown edge.
- Storage Tips: For maximum freshness, store your cookies in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to a month—simply thaw and enjoy whenever you like!
- Experiment with Spices: Don’t hesitate to add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the dough for an extra layer of flavor. These spices complement turmeric beautifully!
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your cookies towards the end of the baking time. They’re done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
