Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chia jam (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and use your thumb to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Fill with Jam: Spoon a small amount of chia jam into each indentation.
Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
