Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Melt your butter and set aside.
    10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, oatmeal, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine, then add cherries and chocolate chips. Stir again to distribute.
    2 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups oatmeal, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • Add milk, egg, and almond extract to a small bowl and whisk until the egg incorporates fully, then pour the butter in and whisk again.
    1/3 cup milk, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir with a spatula just until the mixture comes together. Turn it out on a jelly pan lined with a silpat. Form into a circle about a half inch tall and cut into eight triangles.
  • Arrange triangles, four rows, two across with room between to grow a bit. Place in 425 degree oven for 10-13 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown around the edges.
  • Let cool 3-5 minutes, then serve while still warm. These keep well in a tightly sealed container on your counter for up to two days.
