Ingredients
- 1 egg (pastured raised)
- 1/2 cup almond butter (soft)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (paleo friendly)
- 1/4 walnuts (chopped)
Directions
- Preheat oven at 350. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl and using a mixer whisk the egg, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the oats, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the same bowl until they are all combined.
- Add the nuts and the chocolate chips and mix with a spatula until they are well combined.
- Using your wet hands make 16 balls approximately 1 inch in diameter and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Press them with your hands to give them a cooking form. They will expand further when they cook.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Let them rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes after they are done then transfer to a rack to cool down.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to use double the chocolate chips or the walnuts or try different ingredients like coconut flakes, dried cranberries, dried cherries chopped, raisins, etc.
- It is important that your hands are wet when you make the cookie balls to avoid the dough to stick to your hands.
- You can storage them in the freezer for longer use or leave them t room temperature for up to 3 days.
- I don't like counting calories because I find that very stressful but in case you are interested, each cookie has 161 calories.
