Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, shredded coconut, almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.
Fold in the chopped almonds and dark chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly for even baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can substitute pecans or walnuts for almonds for variety.

Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of almond extract for extra flavor depth.

Use maple syrup instead of honey and vegan dark chocolate to make the recipe vegan.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Freeze cookies in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly before eating.

Use certified gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.

Reduce maple syrup or honey by 1-2 tablespoons and add extra salt to make cookies less sweet.
