Vegan Pecan Cookies
Ingredients
- 11/4 cup blanched almond meal
- 1/4 cup quick oats or oat flour
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup pecan butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 21/2 tbsp coconut oil
- pecans to decorate
Preparation
Begin by making your pecan butter
Roast pecans at 180 c for 10 minutes
Process in food processor for a few minutes until they turn into a butter, transfer to a jar and set aside
I make a big batch and store the rest in the fridge
Add all your ingredients into one big bowl
I like to add the dry ingredients first and then add the coconut oil and maple syrup and pecan butter last
Mix well until a cookie dough is formed
Create cookie shapes by rolling heaped tbsp amounts into a ball and then pressing them down with your fingers until they form a cookie shape
Press 1 pecan into the top of each cookie
Bake on a lightly greased or lined baking tray for 10 - 12 minutes at 170 c
