Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare a large mixing bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the almond butter for 30-45 seconds to soften, making it easier to mix with other ingredients.
- Add honey (or maple syrup) to the softened almond butter and mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until well combined.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and pinch of salt into the almond butter mixture, stirring until smooth and evenly distributed.
- Gradually fold in the rolled oats, ensuring they are completely coated with the almond butter mixture.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press down on each cookie to create a slightly flattened shape, ensuring they hold together.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow cookies to firm up and set.
- Remove from refrigerator and serve chilled. Store remaining cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better cookie consistency.
- For a vegan version, swap honey with maple syrup and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Experiment with add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
- Make sure to chill the cookies thoroughly to help them set and maintain their shape.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add a few extra rolled oats to achieve the right texture.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and professional-looking results.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mixture.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their shape.
