• 3 cups rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons stevia powder
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Prepare chia gel in advance by swishing chia seeds with 1/2 cup water and allowing to sit in a covered Mason jar for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 2 large cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper.

Step 3

Beat butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Add brown sugar and stevia and beat until fluffy, 2 to 5 minutes. Beat in chia gel, egg, 3 tablespoons water, ground flax, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Stir whole wheat flour, almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom together in a separate bowl. Set mixer on low speed and mix dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir in oats, raisins, and walnuts.

Step 5

Spoon out dough by large tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until cookie edges brown, about 15 minutes. Centers will be soft, but they'll firm up as the cookies cool. Cool on a wire rack.
