🔪Instructions
All right, let's make the cookies. Watch how to make it in this video also!

Firstly preheat an oven to 180C/356F.
- Chop almonds and microwave coconut oil
- Mix ingredients
- Form by pressing
- Bake for 15 minutes

Here you go! They are easy to fall apart right after baking, so let them cool completely before eating!
If the dough falls apart
Suppose you feel that the dough is unlikely to stick together; pulse half of the oats in the food processor and mix with the other ingredients. This will make the dough easier to form.
Another option is adding a small amount of almond flour or rice flour.
How to eat the cookies
First of all, just eat it as is. You will enjoy the crunchy texture that makes a great breakfast or snack.
It's made from almost the same ingredients as granola and tastes delicious when mixed with your favorite milk or yogurt!
I love to eat breaking oatmeal cookies by putting them on top of my plain yogurt for an extra flavor punch and then topping off with raisins and dried figs.
Mix in ideas
These are the perfect mix-ins for your no flour oatmeal cookie! Give them an extra special flavor by adding one or more of these ingredients.

Notes
- Equipment: Silicone baking mat, a cookie-cutter (6cm/2.3 inch)
- Storage: Transfer to a container and store at room temperature for one week.
- Substitute: You can substitute maple syrup with other syrup like agave syrup. You can omit coconut flakes if you don't have them.
- A silicon mat makes cookies more crispy.
- When you press and form a cookie, a small measuring cup works well.
- If you don't have a cookie-cutter, you can scoop it up and place it on the mat. It will harden when baked.
- The dough does not stick together easily, so when pulling the cookie-cutter, do it slowly.
- They are easy to fall apart right after baking, so let them cool completely before eating.
- Rolled oats, Maple syrup

Kyashi Suszczewicz
We have a coconut allergy in the family. What can we sub for the flakes and the oil?
Chef JA
Hi Kyashi, thanks for asking a question. You can omit coconut flakes. And for the oil, you can use butter(or vegan butter), or some neutral flavor oil such as canola oil and sunflower oil. I haven't tried with these but it should work. I don't recommend extra virgin olive oil for baking as it has a distinct flavor(if your olive oil has no smell, you can try that though). I hope this help! If you have more questions, please let me know:)
