- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (160g) roasted super creamy almond butter (make sure it is salt-free)
- 6 tablespoons (120g) pure maple syrup (agave would work too
- 3 tablespoons (45g) plant-based milk

NOTE
- Always use a scale for accuracy when baking, following MY gram weights listed. You never need cups, just the scale and bowl and make sure to zero out in between each ingredient.
- I use this scale.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- To a large bowl, add the almond flour, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt and whisk well.
- To the same bowl, add the almond butter, syrup, vanilla, milk, chocolate chips and vegan m&m's. Mix all of the ingredients until a very thick and sticky, cohesive batter forms.
- Using about 2 tablespoons worth of dough, form smooth round balls with your hands. The batter should be sticky but you should be able to roll into balls. Place them on the pan 2 inches apart. I did around 8 on each sheet.
- Either dip your fingertips in water or use a small piece of parchment paper to press each cookie down to about 1/4 inch thick, making sure to press evenly.
- Bake the 1st pan for 10-15 minutes. Ovens can greatly vary, but you are looking for them to puff up and starting to get golden edges.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the pan just 5 minutes. Transfer them to a cooling rack and cool completely. As they cool they will crisp up.
