For an extra nutty flavor, toast the rolled oats lightly in a dry skillet before combining with the other ingredients. A touch of vanilla extract can be added along with the almond extract to enhance the overall flavor profile. Store the cooled macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness and chewiness.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 hrs
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, packed brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir thoroughly until well combined. Cover the bowl and let the mixture stand for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the flavors. (Resting Time: 5+ hours)
02
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your cookie sheets. Consider using non-stick baking mats or parchment paper for easy release. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Incorporate the egg, salt, and almond extract into the oat mixture. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are fully blended and the batter is smooth. (Mixing Time: 3 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Drop the mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving approximately 1 ½ inches between each macaroon. (Preparation Time: 10 minutes)
05
Step
8 mins
Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully browned and the center achieves a golden hue. (Baking Time: 7-8 minutes)
06
Step
20 mins
Remove the macaroons from the cookie sheet immediately and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from sticking and allows them to crisp up perfectly. (Cooling Time: 20 minutes)
