Ingredients
Wet:
- ¾ cup unsalted runny almond butter*
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup coconut oil or butter melted
- ⅓ cup apple sauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry:
- 1 ¾ cup quick oats
- 1 ⅛ cup oat flour 1/8 cup = 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Whisk together until everything is well incorporated.
- Add in all dry ingredients aside from the chocolate chips and stir together with a wood spoon.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until well mixed.
- Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons) and scoop.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press on some extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. If you want the cookies to be chewy, 10-11 minutes is ideal (depending on your oven), they will still look kind of raw when they come out of the oven, but will firm up after 10-15 minutes.
- If you like crispier cookies, just bake for a bit longer! As soon as they come out, I take a round cookie cutter (one that's just slightly larger than the cookie) to scoot around the edges and create a perfect circle cookie. let cool, then sprinkle with salt flakes and enjoy!
Notes
I suggest refined coconut oil so there is no coconut taste to the cookies.
Be sure to use the "pour and level" method for measuring the flour. Pour the flour into your dry measuring cup and then level off the top. Avoid scooping right from the bag or you'll end up with way more flour than you really need!
The brown sugar can be subbed for coconut sugar, but light brown sugar works best and will yield a lighter color cookie.
