Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

This was one of those creations that stemmed from buying an oversized bag of oats, thinking I could get through them! Also, from my desire to eat cookies that were simple enough to minimize clean-up.

I already had all these ingredients in my home, and I bet you do too!

What you’ll need:

2 cups Old Fashioned Oats

1/3 cup Almond Flour

4 tbsp Ground Flaxseed

3 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Salt

4 tbsp melted Coconut Oil

1/4 cup creamy Sunflower Butter

6 tbsp Maple Syrup

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

How you’ll make them:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray your cookie sheet with oil.

2. In a large bowl, whisk all dry ingredients together; leave out chocolate chips.

3. In a smaller bowl, whisk all wet ingredients together then combine with dry ingredients.

4. Once combined, fold in chocolate chips with a spatula.

5. Use a small scoop/spoon to form cookies on to greased cookie sheet. Spread evenly apart and flatten slightly with the bottom of a spoon.

6. Bake for 12 minutes, let cool on a rack and enjoy!
