1. Prep & Preheat
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, stir honey, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Fold Together
- Pour wet mix into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Toss nuts/fruit with 1 tsp flour (to prevent sinking), then fold into dough.
Let dough rest 10 mins so oats absorb moisture for a chewier texture!
5. Bake to Perfection
- Scoop 1-tbsp portions onto the sheet. Flatten slightly (they won’t spread much).
- Bake 10–12 mins until edges are golden.
For crispier cookies, bake 2 mins longer; for softer, remove at 10 mins.
6. Cool & Enjoy
- Let cool 5 mins on the sheet, then transfer to a rack.
