Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or raw honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds pepita seeds
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir in the salt, baking soda, cinnamon, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
  • Using a scoop or spoon, drop 8 equal-size mounds (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the lined baking sheet. Press each mound down slightly to form a thick circle.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are set and lightly browned.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then place them on a rack to cool completely.

Notes

Prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more delicious cookie. Plus, it saves you time in the morning.
Be mindful of the sweetener you use. While it's tempting to load up on sugar when making cookies, especially for breakfast treats, try to be mindful of the sweeteners you use. Instead of refined sugar or artificial sweeteners, explore healthier alternatives such as maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, or dates.
Cookies can be stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
