Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oats
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free oats, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a consistent dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together when pressed.
- Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a circular shape, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your almond flour and oats accurately. Too much or too little can affect the texture of your cookies.
- Chill the Dough: If your dough feels too sticky to handle, consider chilling it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to scoop and shape.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality maple syrup and vegan chocolate chips to enhance the flavor of your cookies. The better the ingredients, the tastier the cookies!
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, dried fruit, or seeds. Just remember to keep the total amount of mix-ins to about 1 cup.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. They’re done when the edges are lightly golden but the centers may still look a bit soft. They will firm up as they cool.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper.
