Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Saucepan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats may need more depending on consistency
- 1 cup unsalted almond butter or peanut butter or any other nut butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup coconut flakes plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds optional
Instructions
- Place parchment or wax paper on 2 large baking sheets and set aside.
- Place the almond butter and coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until almond butter and coconut have melted together.
- Turn off heat and stir in maple syrup, almond extract and chocolate chips. Stir together off heat until chocolate is completely melted.
- Add in the oats, coconut flakes and almonds. Stir together, it should have the same texture as a thick cookie dough. If the nut butter is too runny, you may need to add more oats.
- Drop by rounded spoonfuls (I used a medium cookie scoop) onto the parchment paper and gently flatten with the back of the spoon or scoop. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and/or chopped almonds.
- Place in the fridge to harden for at least 1 hour. They taste best when allowed to harden, but no judgements if you enjoy a few right after shaping!
