Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper. Combine the oats, flour, ground almonds, salt and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the egg, maple syrup and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, along with the chocolate chips, then mix together to make a dough.
- Spoon 10 even mounds onto the lined baking sheet, then squish them down a bit with the back of your spoon. Cook for 10-12 minutes.
- Leave to cool on the sheet for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
