Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients: oats, nut butter, maple syrup, and cocoa powder.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of oats, 1 cup of nut butter, ½ cup of maple syrup, and ¼ cup of cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.

Drop heaping mounds of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are firm and the centers look slightly soft.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
