Oatmeal Pecan Energy Cookies

Who needs coffee when you have energy cookies to get you through your mid-morning slump? Okay, I kid. I couldn’t actually eat cookies in place of my coffee every morning. But, if you’re into caffeine-free, energizing foods (or, you know, you’re big into oatmeal cookies like I am) then I know you will love these Oatmeal Pecan Energy Cookies.

Baked with Your Super’s Energy Bomb Superfood Mix, just two of these soft-baked oatmeal cookies will give you a full serving of organic & energizing superfoods. Like, boost-your-energy-levels-up-to-8-hours kind of energizing. And, let’s be honest, what’s better than a midday cookie snack?

The cookie dough comes together like a traditional oatmeal cookie. And you don’t need to chill the dough – that means minimal time in the kitchen and far less waiting (we’re talking only 6 minutes of bake time!!). I used a traditional cookie scoop (a 1.5 Tbsp size) to scoop my cookies onto my prepared baking sheet. No rolling or shaping necessary. 

Then, as soon as the cookies come out of the oven, you’ll press half of a pecan right into the center of each cookie. Obviously this is optional, but I highly recommend adding the pecans for the flavor and crunch. Let your cookies cool (after eating a couple) and store them for when you need a little energy pick-me-up.

Some of the Ingredients You’ll Need:

• Plant-based butter adds moisture to these cookies and keeps the texture right where we want it – like a regular oatmeal cookie!
• Coconut sugar is low GI and easily replaces refined cane sugar 1:1. I love using it to bake cookies as it yields an amazing cookie texture. If you don’t have any on hand, I recommend regular brown sugar (lightly packed) as an alternative.
• Vegan egg replacer binds the cookies the same way an egg would. Whatever you choose to use, it’s important to mix it with 3 Tbsp of water for this recipe. If you’re not vegan/egg-free, you can use 1 large egg.
• Gluten-free all-purpose flour is the easiest way to make these cookies gluten-free. I don’t recommend any other flours.
• Your Super Energy Bomb Mix adds five energizing superfoods to these cookies: acai, guarana, maca, lucuma, and banana!
• Quick oats are the finer, less chunky version of rolled oats. Make sure yours are labeled “gluten-free”. And if you’d like to use regular rolled oats, they should work in this recipe as well.
• Ground cinnamon adds that cozy flavor we all love in our oatmeal cookies.
• Ground nutmeg pairs well with the cinnamon and Super Energy Bomb Mix. If you don’t have any on hand, you can omit it, or add more ground cinnamon.
