- 1/4 cup Nutiva coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground vanilla bean or vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 egg (I used a flax egg replacer)
- 1/2 dark chocolate bar roughly chopped (cacao nibs would work well too)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl. (I actually ground up some rolled oats to make my oat flour.)
- In a saucepan on med heat, combine the almond butter, coconut oil and maple syrup and stir until smooth.
- Let mixture cool.
