Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

Optional: a sprinkle of sea salt for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir until well blended.

      Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the almond butter, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix them until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.

          Form Bites: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can gently shape them into round bites if desired.

            Optional Topping: If you like, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each bite for an extra flavor kick.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy your guilt-free treat!
