Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or greater)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper (I use and LOVE these baking sheets) or with re-usable Silpat mats (I have these mats).
- Add the wet ingredients to the food processor: almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Process until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients: oats, almond flour, salt, and baking soda. Pulse until the oats are broken up and the ingredients are blended together, for about 10 to 15 pulses.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the cookie sheets, leaving about ½” space between the cookies.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to brown. Cool completely on wire racks.
Notes
- Although it’s really easy to make oat flour, I recommend starting with whole old-fashioned rolled oats. That way you end up with the right texture and the cookie doesn’t dry out.
- I did test this oatmeal cookie recipe using a blender instead of a food processor and it was just a big mess. I have this food processor and the whole process was REALLY easy.
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can process the oats separately and make the dough in a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer.
- Bonus points if you use a cookie scoop to make every cookie the same size AND bake uniformly in the oven.
