Servings: 16 cookies
Calories: 161kcal
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ½ cup almond butter drippy
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup coconut sugar or sub cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla together.
- To that same bowl, add the oats, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and stir to combine. Last, stir in the chocolate chips. NOTE: the mixture will be very wet/soft -- that's normal!
- Use your hands to roll the dough into 16 balls and place them 2" apart on the baking sheet. NOTE: you may need to use 2 baking sheets or bake in batches. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, wet your hands beforehand. Then, use your hands to flatten the balls into cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Leave them on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before carefully transferring them onto a cooling rack. The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven, but will firm up as they cool. Enjoy!
