What a cookie!! I never quite believed people when they posted recipes about “3-ingredient peanut butter cookies.” However, it is totally possible to create a delicious cookie with minimal ingredients.
Wanting to make tese Almond Butter Oatmeal Cookies with a little bit more substance, I decided to add some quick-cooking gluten free oats. Oftentimes when Cohl is out for a long distance run or bike ride he really wants something with balanced nutrition… protein, fat, complex carbs and simple carbs. These almond butter oatmeal cookies can help you perform better athletically as well as sustain a high level of activity for longer.
Want to know the four ingredients in these almond butter oatmeal cookies?

Yup, these cookies are refined sugar-free, too. Honey is a wonderful sweetener when you use it in the right proportions. In these almond butter oatmeal cookies, the honey complements the nut butter perfectly. Using a natural sweetener makes them almost healthy enough to eat for breakfast. 🙂 If you happen to be vegan, feel free to substitute the honey for either agave syrup or maple syrup. The flavor may be a little different, but they will still turn out great!

I love using nut butters in cookies, they are always so delicious & moist. Definitely going to be making these.
They are sooooo moist! Hope you like them 🙂
These are delicious and since I like almonds more than peanuts, they are my favorite nut cookie!
I’m so glad you like them, Loree 🙂
Can these be frozen??
Absolutely!! Just wrap them tightly in wax paper and place in an airtight zip-top bag in the freezer. I would first thaw them in the fridge and then to room temperature when defrosting. The texture may change a bit, but they should still taste great!
Just made these tonight with a slight alteration and even the hubby agrees – they’re bomb!!
I used Justin’s honey almond butter and instead of the full amount of honey/maple syrup I did 1/4 cup plus 1/4 VitaFiber IMO syrup then added in 1.75oz goji berries at the end before forming balls!! Just dreamy! Excited to have my 2yr old try them, too
Thanks for sharing!
Oh that sounds awesome, Lindsey!! I love the addition of the goji berries! Thanks so much for letting me know your alterations and for your sweet comment!
Ohh can’t wait to try these! I love how simple the ingredients are!
I can’t wait to hear what you think, Samina!! 🙂
These are AMAZING! I made them with Goji berries (per another users advice), added a few 85% cacao chocolate chips, and use a tiny bit less than 1/2 cup of maple syrup and they came out AWESOME! Very healthy alternative to normal cookies and a great on-the-go snack!
Oh that sounds absolutely amazing!! I love those additions 🙂 Thanks so much for commenting!
