Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
• ½ cup almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp light butter, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 6-8 small Kinder Bueno bars, chopped into small pieces
• ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts (optional, for added texture)

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare the Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Stir to combine and set aside.

Cream the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the butter and sweetener together until smooth and fluffy. Add the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.

Fold in the Kinder Bueno Pieces

Gently fold in the chopped Kinder Bueno bars and chopped hazelnuts (if using). These add texture and delicious bits of chocolate and hazelnut throughout the cookies.

Shape the Cookies

Using a spoon or your hands, shape the dough into small cookie balls, about 1-2 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon.

Bake

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re slightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

Cool & Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them as a delicious treat with your favorite drink!

Tips for Success

• Use Fresh Kinder Bueno Bars: For the best taste and texture, use fresh bars and chop them into small chunks so they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
• Customize the Toppings: Feel free to add additional chopped hazelnuts, dark chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
• Don’t Overmix the Dough: For soft, chewy cookies, be careful not to overwork the dough when combining the wet and dry ingredients.

Why This Recipe Works

• Healthier Ingredients: By using oat flour and almond flour instead of traditional all-purpose flour, these cookies are lower in carbs and higher in fiber, making them a better choice for satisfying your sweet cravings without compromising your health goals.
• Lower in Sugar: The use of a sugar substitute keeps the overall sweetness of the cookies intact while reducing their calorie count and sugar content, allowing you to enjoy a treat without overindulging.
• Crunch & Creamy Texture: The combination of Kinder Bueno bars and chopped hazelnuts gives the cookies a perfect balance of crunch, chocolatey richness, and creamy hazelnut flavor, mimicking the iconic treat in a healthier way.

These Kinder Bueno Cookies bring together the best of both worlds—chocolatey indulgence and lightened-up deliciousness. With their crispy edges, chewy centers, and decadent hazelnut filling, they’ll quickly become a favorite in your dessert rotation. Whether you’re baking for a crowd or simply treating yourself, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising on your goals.
