Ingredients
1 cup creamy almond butter (no added sugar)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Step 3: Stir in the baking soda, sea salt, and rolled oats using a spatula until a thick dough forms.
Step 4: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
