Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin your Lemon Chia Breakfast Cookies by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg (or flax egg), melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  4. Create the Cookie Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form 1.5-inch rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a lovely golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, take the cookies out and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
