Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup all-natural smooth peanut butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Combine the oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside
- In a large bowl, cream the butter or coconut oil and peanut butter with the brown sugar, until creamy, using an electric mixer. Add the maple syrup and vanilla, and continue beating until well incorporated
- Reduce the speed to low. Add the oats mixture and mix until just combined
- Working with approximately 1 tablespoon and a half of dough (we like using an ice cream scoop for even-size cookies), for 20 balls. Arrange them on the lined baking sheet, and press them down lightly, using the palm of your hand
- Bake for 12-15 minutes and let them cool completely (the cookies will look under cooked when you take them out of the oven)
