Oatbran, Almond, Chia and Blueberry Cookies

Posted on by

Here is a recipe for you to try! They turned out sooo yummy that I wanted to post this before I forget how I made them today. Apologies for the lack of photos, but I just threw these together on a whim.

Oatbran, Almond, Chia and Blueberry Cookies

Ingredients: (makes 18+-)

  • 1 stick of butter or 113 grams
  • 1 ½ cup of keto sugar (I used 1 cup white, ½ cup brown)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 cup almond flour (or your preferred nut flour)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup oats
  • ¼ cup oat bran
  • ¼ cup oat fibre
  • ¼ cup chia
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tblspn cinnamon
  • ½ cup flaked almonds
  • ¾ cup dried blueberries or dried strawberries (cut the strawberries into smaller bits) or your preferred fruit

Method:

  1. In a large mixing bowl beat together the softened butter and sugar until well mixed
  2. Add the single beaten egg
  3. Mix in the vanilla essence
  4. Add in the nut flour, cinnamon and baking powder
  5. Turn oven on to 350⁰ F or 175⁰ C
  6. Add in the oats, seeds, flaked nuts, fruit and mix in very well
  7. Scoop spoonfuls and roll into a ball in your greased hands, flatten in your palms, place on parchment paper lined cookie tray
  8. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes until golden brown
  9. Cool well before storing
  10. You could also chill the dough overnight and bake the next day

Make sure to let them completely cool before removing from the baking tray. I left them in a full 15 minutes in the oven as I like cookies well browned. I guarantee you will love these too. I’m sure you could switch up with pecans or walnuts, maybe add chopped macadamia nuts or even chocolate chips.

Have a wonderful day!
