Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free recommended)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds) or dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make for easy cleanup later.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk or spoon to stir the mixture thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, and if desired, add your choice of chopped nuts or dried fruit for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

          Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, ensuring to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

            Shape the Cookies: Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your hand. This step helps the cookies to bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are set, and they feel firm to the touch.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Serve these delectable chocolate oat cookies as a wholesome snack or delightful dessert! If any cookies survive, store the leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week... but they're likely to disappear quickly!
