Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- Stir oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Mash banana in a separate bowl. Whisk in almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla.
- Pour wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed.
- Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls, about 2 tablespoons each, onto the sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Flatten mounds slightly with damp fingers. Smooth edges for even baking.
- Bake 11 to 13 minutes, until set at the edges and lightly golden.
- Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Variation ideas: Swap almond butter with peanut or sunflower seed butter. Add 1/4 cup dried cranberries or shredded coconut. Zest an orange into the batter for brightness. Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
