Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs *
- 1 cup unsweetened almond butter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ cups oats
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
- Zest of 1 navel orange 1 to 2 tsp
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Add the eggs, almond butter, and pure maple syrup to a large bowl and mix until very well combined. This mixture should be thick and smooth. Pro tip: if your almond butter has been chilling in the refrigerator, microwave it for 20-30 seconds, or until it is easy to stir. If using bananas instead of eggs, mash the bananas until very creamy before mixing them with the remaining wet ingredients.
- Mix the oats, baking soda, and ground cinnamon (the dry ingredients) into the wet ingredients until a thick cookie dough forms. It will appear stickier than regular cookie dough. This is normal.
- Add in the dried cranberries and orange zest and stir well to incorporate into the cookie dough.
- Use a spoon to scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. I use the spoon and my fingers to shape the dough into a round disc shape. The dough spreads during the baking process, so leave plenty of room between each mound of dough.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffy, slightly golden brown, and appear to be set up. When they first come out of the oven, the cookies will look puffy and strange. This is normal. Allow the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the sheet and enjoying.
Notes
*Substitute 2 large ripe bananas for the eggs. Simply mash the bananas and mix them with the other wet ingredients.
