I have the best recipe for Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies today! This healthier cookie option is one you can feel good about indulging in any time of year. So, let’s make these easy Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies!
This healthier cookie option is naturally gluten free because I use almond flour and coconut flour in place of traditional all purpose flour. I also use oats, but you can use gluten free oats if you are gluten free. Most rolled oats have traces of wheat, so if you are gluten free, you should be buying oats that are labeled gluten free.
These easy Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies also use coconut oil instead of butter, for a healthier cookie option. If you want to take it one step further, you can replace the cane sugar with organic coconut sugar too! If you do that be sure to weigh the coconut sugar to 170 grams or measure 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons, as it weighs differently than traditional cane sugar.

Why Organic
Why use organic ingredients in this recipe? You all know I’m a huge organic advocate, and I bet you may be thinking sometimes, Why would I even bother to use organic ingredients in something that is so sweet and indulgent? But, that is the exact reason why you should use organic ingredients! Sweet things need to have flavor in order to be good, otherwise they are just sweet and they don’t taste like much else. Organic ingredients are more pure than conventional ones, therefore they actually have more flavor than the non organic options. Say it with me, organic means more flavor! And not just more flavor but a more true and pure flavor. And organic ingredients are much healthier for you to eat in general as they do not contain GMOs or anything artificial. Plus, you are being environmentally friendly when you choose organic ingredients!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.

Ingredients
- Dough
1/2 cup (113 grams) organic coconut oil
170 grams (3/4 cup) organic cane sugar
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
198 grams (2 cups) organic almond flour
57 grams (1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon) organic coconut flour
100 grams (1 cup) organic rolled oats
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon organic cinnamon
2 organic large eggs
- Glaze
71 grams (1/2 cup) organic powdered sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons water
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- To make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the coconut oil, cane sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix on low until all the ingredients are combined and no chunks of coconut oil remain.
- In a separate bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, oats, baking powder, and sea salt, and cinnamon and whisk together.
- Add the eggs to the coconut oil mixture and add the flour mixture right on top. Mix on low until combined.
- Using your hands, form the cookie dough into 24 balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Twelve will fit on each sheet. Flatten them slightly so they look like disks that are about 2-1/4 inches in diameter.
- Bake for 11 minutes, or until the cookies look puffy and set. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
- To make the glaze: In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and water and whisk together.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the cookies with the glaze.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
Notes
- High Altitude – Bake for 8 minutes, or until the cookies look puffy and set.
