Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup refined coconut oil melted
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Onto a rimmed baking sheet, spread the oats in an even layer. Bake for 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Into a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, melted coconut oil, water, almond butter, and vanilla bean paste. Whisk together until the consistency is smooth.
  • Using a sturdy spatula, gradually stir the flour mixture into the oil mixture until just combined.
  • Fold in the toasted oats, chocolate chips, cranberries, pecans, and sunflower seeds.
  • Cover the bowl and let the dough sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour, and up to 4 hours.
  • Working with about 3 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls and arrange them, evenly spaced onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Gently press each ball of dough into a width of about 2 inches.
  • Bake until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft, about 12-14 minutes. Allow the cookies to completely on the baking sheets then serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
