DRY INGREDIENTS:

3 Tablespoons oat flour
1 Tablespoon pumpkin seed meal
1 Tablespoon oats
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
dash sea salt
1 ½ teaspoons coconut sugar
½ teaspoon chia seeds

½ Tablespoon nut or seed butter
1 Tablespoon applesauce
1 Tablespoon milk of your choice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
Stir in the almond butter, until the mixture looks pebbly.
Add in the remaining ingredients and stir until the dough is well combined. You can add in your toppings or top the cookie with them.
Pour the batter into a well-oiled, small ramekin or mini cast iron skillet (see Recipe Notes above).
