Ingredients
2 cups blanched almond flour
0.5 cup oat flour
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
0.25 teaspoon sea salt
0.33 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
0.5 cup pure grade A maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
0.75 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a large heavy-duty baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Whisk the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt in a large non-reactive bowl.
Combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a separate medium glass bowl.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry flour blend and stir with a silicone spatula until a cohesive dough forms.
Fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter using gentle strokes.
Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes until golden around the edges.
Allow cookies to cool completely on the sheet before serving.
Notes
Ensure coconut oil is at room temperature before mixing to prevent clumping. If using certified gluten-free oat flour, verify the packaging labeling. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
