Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats (NOT quick oats)
  • 1 cup Almond Meal, (I used Kroger Simple Truth)
  • 1/2 cup Flax Seed Meal, ( or ground flax seeds. I used Kroger Simple Truth)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Greek Style Yogurt Flavored Baking Chips (or white chocolate chips, optional, I used Kroger Private Selection )
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted and cooled)
  • 1/4 cup Raw Honey (I used Kroger Simple Truth Organic )
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar ( or brown sugar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup jam (or preserves of your favorite flavor/variety, such as Kroger Private Selections Wild Maine Blueberry Preserves)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the oats, almond meal, flax seed meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the nut butter, coconut oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir util all of the ingredients are moistened to form a thick dough.
  • Scoop two tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining dough, spacing about two inches apart. I used a small cookie scoop that holds about one tablespoon and placed one scoop on top of another to form a single mound.
  • Bake for 8-9 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and using the back of a wooden spoon or your finger, make an indentation in each cookie. Fill each indentation with a scant one teaspoon of jam.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 4-6 minutes, or until cookies are set and golden brown, but still soft.
  • Let cool on the pan for about ten minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will be soft, like the texture of a soft and chewy breakfast bar.
  • Store in an airtight container for several days, or in the fridge or freezer to keep longer.
