Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and chop the pecans coarsely. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and natural gelling agent. Whisk thoroughly to evenly distribute spices and leavening throughout the dough.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar (natural), maple syrup (natural), vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and well incorporated.
- Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies soft and chewy.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in chopped pecans to evenly distribute the crunch without crushing them.
- Shape Cookies and Bake: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about two inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges turn golden brown but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they hold their shape perfectly.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to minimize spreading and improve texture.
- Lightly toast pecans to enhance their natural flavor and crunch.
- Measure flour accurately by spooning and leveling rather than scooping directly.
- Remove cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers remain soft to keep them chewy.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and uneven browning.
