Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or cacao nibs)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. It should be sticky yet manageable. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

          Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the scoop or your fingers.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft but will firm up as they cool.

              Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serving Suggestion: Enjoy these breakfast cookies with a glass of milk, tea, or coffee, or pack them for a nutritious snack on-the-go!
