Description
Soft, chewy, and perfectly nutty — these Healthy Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookies with Almond Flour bring all the cozy cookie flavor you love without any sugar or gluten.
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour (blanched preferred)
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup granulated sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
1 large cold egg
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) or 320°F (160°C) for fan ovens.
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. Chop sliced almonds and shredded coconut into small oat-sized bits or pulse briefly in a food processor.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped almonds, coconut, almond flour, sweetener, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add melted (and cooled) butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Stir until a firm dough forms.
6. Divide dough into 9 portions, place on the tray, and flatten slightly.
7. Press extra almonds on top if desired.
8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges turn golden.
9. Cool on the tray for 3–5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use blanched almond flour for a lighter texture; almond meal will be denser.
Ensure melted butter is cooled to avoid cooking the egg.
Chill dough before baking to reduce spreading.
Remove cookies when edges just begin to brown for a soft, chewy center.
Ground chia seeds can replace xanthan gum if needed.
