Choc One Up for Chip!

This recipe is yummy. I mean YUM-EE! I used coconut oil and almond butter in place of butter and peanut butter.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Coconut Oil (Expeller Pressed)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Brown Rice Syrup
1/3 cup Creamy Almond Butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp. Almond Extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 cup Whole Wheat White Flour
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup Coconut ( I use unsweetened real flaked coconut, not the over processed sugary stuff).

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together coconut oil, brown sugar, and brown rice syrup until fluffy. Add in egg, almond butter and extracts and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda and baking powder. Slowly add to the mixer and beat until blended. Add chocolate chips and coconut and mix until blended. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
