Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp raw almond butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp vegan butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tbsp vegan dark chocolate chips
Topping
- Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your cookie.
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, baking soda, sea salt, and vegan dark chocolate chips until a dough forms.
- Shape Dough: Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten it slightly to form the cookie shape.
- Freeze Dough: Place the shaped dough in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up, which helps maintain shape during baking.
- Bake: Transfer the baking sheet with the dough into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cookie is golden around the edges.
- Rest Cookie: Remove the cookie from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to set and develop texture.
- Add Topping and Serve: Sprinkle the finished cookie with flaky sea salt for a delightful contrast of flavors, then enjoy your freshly baked single serve oatmeal cookie.
Notes
- For a crispier cookie, bake an additional 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or honey if not strictly vegan.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Store leftover cookie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can add extra texture and flavor.
