My favorite thing to eat is a sweet treat with coffee…this addiction is what started Crumbs…and the daily need to satisfy it has lead to me “healtifying” many of those treats in order to enjoy them daily without the guilt.

Here’s another of those sweet treats that taste amazing with a cup of coffee…I just had a couple for breakfast! Would also be amazing as an afternoon snack. They are plant-based and gluten-free especially if you gluten-free oats. I used whole cane brown sugar, but I’m sure coconut sugar will also work. You can also replace the honey with maple syrup if you prefer.

I made half the recipe with the jam, and the other half just plain as pictured. For the plain one, just press down to flatten before baking. You can also role out the dough between two pieces of parchment until about 0.5cm thick and then use a cookie cutter to cut out some shapes before baking. Just keep in mind without jam, the cookies will be slightly less sweet, which some of you might prefer.

I used Bob’s Red Mill Oat Flour and Almond Flour….but you can also make your own by grinding the oats or almonds in a food processor or spice grinder.
