Description
Tender, chewy cookies made with leftover oatmeal and blood sugar friendly ingredients. A delicious way to use up extra oatmeal while keeping your glucose stable.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) 1 to 1 sugar alternative
- ¼ cup (64g) almond butter
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla
- ½ tsp (3g) baking soda
- ¼ tsp (1.5g) kosher salt
- 2¼ cups (220g) almond flour
- 3 Tbsp (28g) coconut flour
- ¾ cup (180g) cooked oatmeal, cold
- ½ cup (85g) mix-in of choice like dark chocolate chips, raisins or other dried fruit
Instructions
- Cream together softened butter, sweetener, and almond butter until light and smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla, beat until fully incorporated.
- Add cold cooked oatmeal. It may be congealed—use the back of a spatula or a hand mixer to break it up and combine evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Rest dough 10 minutes to allow coconut flour to hydrate.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Scoop 1.5 Tbsp balls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball to approximately 1.5 inches wide and ½ inch thick.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until slightly golden but not browned. Overbaking will cause them to dry out.
- Cool completely on pan before removing. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Dairy-free: Swap butter for coconut oil or dairy-free butter.
Not strict keto: These are blood sugar friendly but the oatmeal means they're not keto. Great for low-glycemic, not for strict carb counting.
