•
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
•
1/2 cup ground flax meal
•
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup almond butter
•
1/3 cup brown sugar
•

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Pulse walnuts in the bowl of a food processor until ground into a flour; transfer to a bowl. Stir in oats, flax meal, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
3
Combine almond butter, brown sugar, canola oil, agave nectar, egg, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to blend well. Transfer almond butter mixture to a large bowl; fold in chocolate chips and dried cherries. Stir oatmeal mixture into almond butter mixture; dough will be very thick.
4
Scoop dough by heaping teaspoons; roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; flatten cookies with a spatula. Cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to finish cooling.
