Ingredients:
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup nut butter
1/4 cup Zen Basil Seeds
1 egg
2 tablespoons coconut oil, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
1/2 cup coconut flakes
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetener, nut butter, Zen Basil Seeds, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cocoa or cacao powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, sprinkle the coconut flakes over the top of each cookie.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
