Honey Almond Oatmeal Energy Cookies!!

Yum! I was feeling like something sweet and slightly crunchy, yet healthy and wholesome...so I gathered together my favorite recipes and combined some of the best ingredients to see how these cookies would turn out. Delish...and the ingredients are actually what would make up a healthy granola bar, so you can feel good about snacking on these cookies!

1/3 cup organic coconut oil, soft or even melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/3 cup almond butter

3 Tbsp soy or almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

-In a large bowl mix together coconut oil, brown sugar and honey with electric mixer. Add milk and vanilla and mix on low speed, then mix in almond butter

-In seperate bowl, stir flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir together until well combined.

-Mix in oats

-I like big cookies, so I get a big ball of dough and roll into a ball, place on cookie sheet and lightly press down on top to flatten the cookie. Continue with the rest of the dough.

-Bake about 13 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for a minute, then move cookies to cooling rack.
Cookies may get a little crunchy as they cool, if you want them a little chewier take them out of the oven a little earlier.

Have with some greek yogurt and berries for a great energizing snack or a healthy dessert after dinner! Enjoy
