Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 2 cup oats
• 3/4 – 1 cup almond meal
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup honey/agave syrup
• 1/2 cup almond butter, melted
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• Dash of vanilla extract

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add the whole raw almonds to a food processor. Process until the nuts are in small pieces.
3. Combine the oats, almond meal and crushed almonds in a bowl with the salt and cinnamon.
4. Melt the coconut oil and almond butter on the stove or in the microwave. Add the syrup and vanilla extract. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
5. Using your hands, form the dough into small golf sized balls. Make sure to really squeeze the dough together so the cookies don’t fall apart when you make a thumbprint in them. Let the balls sit for 5-10 minutes to help them set.
6. Using your thumb, press into the centre of the cookie to flatten down slightly.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops start to turn brown.
8. When the cookies are warm, add some healthy chocolate spread on top.. Yummaay!

Enjoy,
