Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Mix well to distribute chocolate chips evenly.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/4 cup almond butter, 3 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the mixture clumps together when pinched—add 1 tsp water if too dry.
  3. Step 3: Scoop 1.5 tbsp of the mixture into your palm and roll into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm. The cookies should hold their shape when gently pressed—no baking required!
