Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
• 1/2 cup dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, almond flour, chopped nuts, dried fruits, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and shape into a cookie. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving some space between the cookies.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. The cookies will be soft but will firm up as they cool. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, store the power cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
8. Enjoy these nutritious Power Cookies as a quick breakfast, energizing snack, or post-workout treat!
