Healthy Energy Cookies (No Flour, No Sugar)
Packed with nuts, seeds, and natural sweetness — a nutritious treat you can feel good about!
Ingredients:
70g (2.5 oz) dried apricots
50g (1.8 oz) walnuts
70g (2.5 oz) hazelnuts
30g (1 oz) pumpkin seeds
40g (1.4 oz) sunflower seeds
20g (0.7 oz) sesame seeds
20g (0.7 oz) flaxseeds
60g (2 oz) almonds
20g (0.7 oz) pine nuts
40ml (1.4 oz) natural honey
1 egg white
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Chop the dried apricots finely or pulse in a food processor until slightly sticky.
Roughly chop the nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds) or pulse briefly for a chunky texture.
In a large bowl, combine all nuts, seeds, chopped apricots, and salt.
Add the honey and egg white, mixing thoroughly until the mixture holds together.
Scoop small portions onto the baking sheet and shape into cookies.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
How to Store:
At Room Temperature: Keep the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Refrigerator: For longer freshness, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. They’ll stay firm and chewy.
Freezer-Friendly: Freeze cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 3 months.
Just thaw at room temp for a few minutes before eating—or enjoy them straight from the freezer for a firmer, chilled treat!
Variations & Tips:
Vegan version: Replace the egg white with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water (let sit 5 minutes).
Swap the fruit: Use dried figs, dates, or raisins instead of apricots for a different flavor and texture.
Add spices: A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a dash of vanilla extract can add warmth and depth.
Go chocolatey: Add a handful of dark chocolate chips (sugar-free if needed) for a more indulgent twist.
Boost protein: Add 1–2 tablespoons of chia seeds or hemp seeds to up the nutritional value.
Shape options: Press into bars instead of cookies if you prefer grab-and-go energy bars.
Watch the bake time: These cookies are best slightly soft—don’t overbake or they can become too dry.
