Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tbsp crystallized ginger, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- If using, fold in chocolate chips and/or crystallized ginger until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or dampened fingers.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
