Ingredients
1/4CupSlivered almonds
1/4CupUnsweetened coconut flakes
1/2CupNatural almond butter
1/4CupHoney
1/4CupUnsweetened applesauce
1/2tspAlmond extract
1/2Cup + 2 TbspQuick oats(not old fashioned)
1/2CupUdi's Gluten Free Vanilla Granola
1/4CupCacao nibs
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spread the almonds onto a small baking sheet, and the coconut flakes onto a separate sheet. Bake until they are both golden brown, about 5-8 minutes for the almonds and only 2-3 minutes for the coconut. They both burn quickly, so watch closely! Once toasted, reduce the heat to 325 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or a silpat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey, applesauce and almond extract until smooth and creamy.
Add in the quick oats, granola, cacao nibs, pinch of salt and the toasted almonds and coconut. Stir until well mixed and a sticky, thick dough forms.
Drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet in 10 large mounds. Use a fork to press the cookies out about 1/3 inch thick. Make sure to use the fork to press in the sides around the cookie to make sure they stick together.
Bake at 325 degrees until the edges are golden and the top of the cookie feels "set," about 23-24 minutes. Let cool COMPLETELY on the pan.
