Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Substitute with maple syrup for vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Plant-based butter can be used for vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Optional ingredient.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; whisk together until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the seeds, nuts, and chocolate chips if using. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
  6. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  2. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra crunch, lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the dough. Resting the dough for about 15 minutes before baking can enhance the texture and flavor.
