INGREDIENTS
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup Spread The Love® UNSALTED Almond Butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp. Coconut oil
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ½ cup miniature chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
✔ Step 1 - Toast the Oats
Start by heating the rolled oats in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until they become fragrant — this intensifies their flavor and gives the cookies a nuttier profile.
✔ Step 2 - Mix the Base
Once the oats have cooled, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the almond butter, honey, vanilla, coconut oil, and sea salt. Stir until every oat is evenly coated.
✔ Step 3 - Add the Chocolate
Fold in the miniature chocolate chips gently. The chips give bursts of sweet chocolate in every bite — optional, but highly recommended for chocolate lovers.
✔ Step 4 - Shape the Cookies
Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Place each on a parchment-lined baking sheet. To flatten, grease the bottom of a glass with a neutral oil and press down lightly.
✔ Step 5 - Chill and Enjoy
Transfer the cookies to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps them set properly. Store in the fridge for up to 7 days
