Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Oats Use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Nut Butter Almond or peanut; can substitute with sunflower seed butter for nut-free.
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup Or honey; agave syrup can be used for a lower glycemic option.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Use dark chocolate chips for less sweetness or dairy-free options for vegan.

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • Cookie scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend together the oats, nut butter, and maple syrup until they form a cohesive mixture.
  3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  4. Scoop out the cookie dough and place it onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each scoop.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain slightly soft.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure nut butter is well-stirred but not too runny. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Freeze for longer storage.
