Maple Nut Oaties
Ingredients
- 1 cup toasted rolled oats
- 1/2 cup nut or seed butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (can substitute seeds for 'nut-free')
- 1/2 cup chocolate/carob chips or dried fruit
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted nut butter)
Instructions
Toast oats in 350 oven for a few minutes. Watch carefully as they burn easily.
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Scoop cookie dough by the tablespoonful (a melon ball scooper works well) onto a parchment-lined or greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Let cool a minute or so, then pick up and form into balls before placing on cooling rack.
