How to Make Healthy Nut & Seed Energy Cookies Recipe
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Begin by heating your oven to 325°F (160°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This foundation step ensures your cookies bake evenly and don’t stick, making cleanup a breeze.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, toss together the rolled oats, chopped mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, dried cranberries, cinnamon, and salt. This combination forms the heart of your cookie, blending texture and robust flavors.
Step 3: Warm the Wet Ingredients
Over low heat, gently melt the peanut butter and honey in a small saucepan until the mixture is smooth and luscious.
