Pine nuts—the edible seeds of pines—offer an herbal, crunchy taste in these small, tender cookies. You might be surprised to learn that these delicious treats are filled with whole grains, are light in added sugars, and include a dose of healthy fiber, too. Using aquafaba—bean liquid reserved from canned beans—these cookies have a fluffy texture, and golden brown surface. They are delightful served for dessert (I like to serve them with seasonal fruit), as a snack with coffee, or a treat in kids lunchboxes.

With only 7 ingredients (most of them pantry staples to boot), you can get these simple, rustic Vegan Pine Nut Oat Cookies done in under 30 minutes!

• ¼ cup all purpose flour
• ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
