1 cup almond butter

1/3 cup unpasteurized, raw honey

1 egg

1 tablespoon vanilla

½ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon raw cacao powder

1 tablespoon gelatinized maca root powder (Found at fine health food stores. I prefer gelatinized maca, the starches have been removed, plus I love the sweet butterscotch taste)

Preheat oven to 350 F/175 C. Place parchment paper on baking sheets.

Stir together first 8 ingredients, mix well. Make sure honey is fully incorporated, add coconut, chocolate and mix until well combined. The ‘dough’ will have a very soft consistency to it, so it’s best to scoop with a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop onto baking sheet. Dough will spread out and flatten as cookies bake, so leave space between each cookie!

Bake 9-12 minutes 9 Minutes or until lightly browned. Enjoy your bites of energy!
