Ingredients
1/2 cup Forager Project® Organic Unsweetened Plain Cashewmilk Yogurt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
1/3 cup fruit-sweetened raspberry or strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cashew yogurt, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
- Stir in almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, and sea salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped pistachios.
- Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press a thumb or spoon into the center of each cookie to create an indentation.
- Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of jam.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Swap pistachios with chopped walnuts or pecans for variety.
Experiment with different jams like apricot, cherry, or fig.
To make grain-free, replace oat flour with more almond flour (adjust texture).
Add dairy-free mini chocolate chips for a chocolate twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Microwave for a few seconds to reheat and enjoy warm.
