Iced oatmeal cookie bark

Servings 0

Ingredients
  

Cookie Base

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats, pulsed 5–8 times in a blender
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • cup refined coconut oil, palm oil shortening, or softened dairy-free butter
  • cup raw cane sugar or monk fruit sugar, for that light sweetness
  • ½ cup coconut sugar, for that deep, caramelly taste
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Icing (Two Options):

  • Classic Powdered Sugar Icing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp almond or coconut milk
  • Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract

Refined Sugar-Free Coconut Butter Icing

  • ¼ cup softened coconut butter
  • ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions
 

Prep the Base:

  • Pulse the oats in a blender to create a mix of textures—some fine, some hearty. In a bowl, whisk together the oats, almond flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Cream It:

  • In a separate bowl, beat the coconut oil (or butter), cane sugar, and coconut sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla, then mix again until fully combined.

Combine & Shape:

  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a flat, even layer (about ¼-inch thick) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may look soft, but it will firm up as it cools.
  • Cool:
  • Let the bark cool completely on the tray—this is key for that signature chewy-crisp texture.

Make the Icing:

  • Powdered sugar option: Mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla to a thick, drizzly consistency.

Coconut butter option:

  • Warm coconut butter, coconut milk, and maple syrup together until smooth and pourable.

Ice It:

  • Break the cooled cookie sheet into rustic bark pieces. Lightly dip just the tops into the icing to get that nostalgic speckled look—don’t fully dunk.

Set:

  • Let the icing firm up for about 1 hour at room temp, or chill in the fridge to speed things up.
