Ingredients:

• 1 cup oats
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup collagen powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup diced peaches

Optional Icing:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• tbsp’s almond milk (gradually added to reach desired consistency)

Instructions:

1. 🥣 Mix Dry Ingredients:
   Start by whisking together the oats, almond flour, collagen powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. This blend of dry ingredients sets the foundation for your cookie dough.
2. 🥄 Combine Wet Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until everything is incorporated. Gently fold in the diced peaches, allowing them to be evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3. ❄️ Chill Dough:
   For best results, refrigerate the dough for at least 45 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps to thicken the dough, making it easier to shape into cookies.
4. ⏲️ Bake:
   Preheat your oven to 325°F. Drop rounded scoops of dough onto a lined baking sheet, gently flattening them a bit. The cookies won’t spread much during baking, so shape them to your liking. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
5. 🍪 Cool & Optional Icing:
   Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. If you’re feeling a lil extra, drizzle them with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and almond milk for a touch of sweetness and extra flair.

These Peach Pie Oatmeal Cookies are not only a sweet treat but also a nod to the health-conscious baker. With wholesome ingredients like oats and almond flour, plus the benefits of collagen, you can indulge guilt-free.
