Ingredients

• 3 1/2 tablespoons (49 grams) coconut oil1
• 1/2 cup (128 grams) unsalted natural almond butter (the kind with just nuts and salt)
• 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt (I used 3/16 teaspoon as I like things a little salty) (if your almond butter is salted, add salt to taste)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups (138 grams) rolled oats (use gluten-free oats, if necessary)
• 1/2 cup (55 grams) roasted chopped almonds2 and / or about 1/4 cup (60 grams) cinnamon chips (omit for dairy-free / vegan)

Directions

• In a medium pot, melt the coconut oil over low heat.
• Add the almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt and stir until well combined.
• Turn the heat up to medium and while stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil.
• Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture should thicken a little. Dont boil it longer than 2 minutes or it may separate.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and oats until well combined.
• If using almonds, stir them in now. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out balls of the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper. If using cinnamon chips, let the formed cookies cool until almost room temperature. Place the chips in a small bowl and roll the tops of the cookies in the chips. You can also stir the chips into the almost cooled mixture if you dont mind them melting and partially combining with the almond butter mixture.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container for about a week.
