Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Chai-Spiced Nut Butter (or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (ensure gluten-free as needed)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped raw pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chai-spiced nut butter, maple syrup, baking soda, and salt and stir or whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and chopped pecans and stir well to evenly distribute ingredients.
- Scoop out ~1 ½ Tbsp portions of dough using a cookie scoop (we like this one) or two spoons, place on the baking sheet, and press lightly to make a thick, flat cookie about 2 ½ inches in diameter (they will not spread much, so it’s okay if they are close together). It’s normal for them to stick to your hands a bit when pressing — you can lightly oil your hands if needed!
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Let cool slightly before enjoying.
- Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
