Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond flour thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the base elements.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir until all components are fully combined. If using shredded coconut, fold it gently into the mixture now for added texture and flavor.
  4. Form cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape them gently into small cookie rounds by pressing them between your palms.
  5. Chill to set: Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the cookies, allowing them to hold their shape.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled and firm, enjoy these lemony, chewy no-bake cookies straight from the refrigerator for a refreshing and nutritious snack.

Notes

  • For a firmer texture, chill the cookies longer or briefly freeze before serving.
  • Maple syrup keeps these cookies vegan, while honey may not be suitable for strict vegans.
  • You can substitute almond flour with another nut flour like cashew or oat flour for a different twist.
  • Ensure the lemon juice is freshly squeezed for the best citrus flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
