- 1/3 cup oat flour (oats, blended into flour)
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough using a cooking scoop or roll into balls between your hands.
- Place the cookies 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all the dough.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes or until edges slightly darker brown.

Notes
When using natural almond butter, be sure to stir the almond butter so the consistency is even and all the oil has been incorporated before measuring into the measuring cup.
If your almond butter is unsalted, add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the recipe.
You can use a fork to make a crisis cross pattern on top if desired.
