Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon oat flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cup smooth almond butter (runny; raw or toasted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Tips

    For a less sweet cookie, use 1/4 cup chocolate chips instead of 1/2 cup
    Molly’s Tip: Measure dry ingredients over wax paper so any spills can easily be poured back into the container - nothing wasted!
    Before putting in the oven, rolling the dough balls in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut can add extra texture and flavor
    For the freshest taste, make your own oat flour by blending oats in a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix) for about 30 seconds
    Use gluten-free oats if needed
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate small to medium bowl, whisk together almond butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and coconut sugar.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips. (Don’t worry if it seems very thick, you’re doing it right.)
  • Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. At the 6-minute mark, remove the cookies briefly and gently press them down with a fork if they have not spread. Return to the oven to finish baking. (Or keep them as soft cookieballs—your choice!)

Notes

Storage:
  • Once cookies are completely cool, store in an airtight container
Freezing:
  • These cookies freeze very well. Molly loves them heated so the chocolate gets all melted!
