- 1 1/2 tsp (8 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp (1 ml) salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp (21g) coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup (120mL) pure maple syrup (room temperature)
- 4 tsp (20 ml) maple extract
- 3 tbsp (42g) finely diced pecans
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt using a whisk.
- In a different bowl, blend the melted coconut oil and the egg using a whisk.
- Add the pure maple syrup to the egg mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Mix in the maple extract thoroughly.
- Add the oat mixture to the liquid ingredients and stir just until blended.
- Carefully fold in 2 ½ tablespoons of the chopped pecans.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough for 20 minutes.
- Set the oven to 325°F and prepare a baking sheet with either a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Using a spoon and spatula, drop the dough onto the sheet in 15 rounded portions.
- Use a spatula to flatten each to ⅜”-thick.
- Press the remaining pecans gently onto the tops of the cookies.
- Bake in the oven at 325°F for 9-11 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted and slightly cooled to prevent overheating the other ingredients.
- Use room temperature egg and maple syrup for easier blending into the mixture.
- Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps maintain shape and enhances the chewy texture.
