Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats, oat flour, walnuts, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together cashew butter, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, dollop the dough onto the lined baking sheet, flattening each mound slightly.
  6. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the tops feel set and slightly firm.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
