Instructions

  • Arrange the racks in the center and top positions in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup, flaxseed, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  • In a small bowl, mix the rolled oats, protein powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir this dry mixture into the wet mixture. Then add the sliced almonds and stir to form a cookie dough.
  • Scoop the dough in 2 tablespoon portions to form the cookies and place on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Place one sheet on each oven rack and bake the cookies for 8 minutes. Then rotate the trays and bake for a further 8 minutes until golden brown.
  • Once baked, remove the baking sheets from the oven. Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before transferring the cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
