Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup dried apricot, diced
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a food processor, add the 1 and 3/4 cups of the rolled oats. Pulse the oats until they are ground into a flour. Once completed, add them to a large mixing bowl, and the remaining 1/4 cup of rolled oats.
- Add the cashews to the food processor and grind them into a meal, about 1-2 minutes. You want to ensure your cashews are raw and unsalted. Add ground cashews to mixing bowl.
- Add baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon and stir well to combine into the flour mixture.
- To the dry mixture, add the melted coconut oil, honey, egg and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the dough is well combined, and add in pistachios and chopped apricots.
- The dough might seem a little dry at first, but it will be fine.
- Allow the dough mixture to sit for 10 minutes to ensure liquid is well absorbed, and as the coconut oil cools down the dough will stick together much better.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and using a 1/4 cup of the dough mixture form into cookies and line the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown on the edges.
- Allow to cool before eating, and enjoy!
