Ingredients

  • 2 cups old -fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup black chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted virgin coconut oil
  • 1 large egg , room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a heavy-gauge baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • In a primary mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, almond flour, chia seeds, baking soda, and sea salt until homogenous.
  • In a secondary bowl, emulsify the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Integrate the wet emulsion into the dry ingredients using a spatula until a thick dough forms.
  • Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes to facilitate the hydration of the oats and chia seeds.
  • Using a #40 scoop, portion 12 equal mounds onto the prepared baking sheet and compress slightly to form 2-inch discs.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the internal structure is set and the base edges exhibit light browning.
  • Remove from heat and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to complete the carry-over cooking process before transferring to a wire rack.
