Prep time: 10 min

Total time: 25 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1/4 cup coconut oil, or (grass-fed butter) softened at room temperature; 1 large egg (pasture-raised); 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 tablespoons maple syrup; 1/2 cup almond butter, creamy; 2 cups (200 grams) almond flour, super fine; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (unsweetened baking chocolate)

100% cocoa (or cacao) is acceptable on the diet: the majority of commercial chocolate contains some form of refined sugar. Your chocolate, therefore, needs to be made of fully unsweetened cacao paste. Baker's unsweetened baking chocolate is a good choice. If unsure, look at the ingredients (not the nutrients!): any type of added sugar or added fat will make it off-limits.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small ramekin, soften coconut oil by placing it in the microwave and set aside. In a medium-large baking bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla, and date paste. Add in the creamy almond butter and cooled coconut oil and whisk again into other wet ingredients.
In another medium bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Pour mixture into wet ingredients and mix until dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls using your hands, or a cookie scooper. Place cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cookies are a golden brown color. Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy!
