These will become your new “after-school special” or, alternatively, will make you feel like a kid all over again.
Quick and easy cookies, chockfull of nutty flavor and the smoothness of almond butter.
And, yes, you read that correctly – these bake in just 10 minutes!
I’ll confess… I ate three of these myself almost right out of the oven. But the almond butter keeps them soft and chewy for a few days, if they last that long in your house.
Almond butter oatmeal cookies
(makes about a dozen)
- 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted almond butter, softened to a stir-able consistency
- 1/2 cup (heaping!) quick oats
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup raw sugar
- 1 egg
- pinch of salt
- a handful of slivered almonds (for topping)
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Add egg and almond butter and stir together until smooth.
3. Use a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop to form cookies. Place them on the baking sheet and flatten lightly with a fork. Top with almond slivers.
4. Bake for 10 minutes.
Cool on a rack or lift the parchment off the baking sheet – the cookies will set as they cool.
I LOVE oatmeal cookies, these look so addictive 😀

Oh, they really, really are!
I like a cookie recipe that doesn’t make too many and a dozen of your almond oatmeal cookies sounds perfect. You can get into too much trouble with just a dozen. 😀
Thanks so much:) a dozen is just enough in our house haha
With gluten-free oats, these would be perfect for Kevin! I’ll keep them in mind next time he gets a craving for cookies!
Oh, I hope he enjoys them!
YUM. That’s pretty much all that needs to be said about these gorgeous cookies! I love the combination of oats and nut butter… such a great, healthy combination. As for how quick these are? Awesome!! A seriously useful recipe to have on hand when the cookie-cravings hit! x
They are super gooey and chewy and good. And a tad dangerously easy 🙂 haha x
