1 dash baking soda

2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

1 Tbsp. extra virgin organic coconut oil, melted

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2 tsp. unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325° F. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with spray. Set aside.

3. Combine maple syrup, oil, and extract in a small bowl; mix well.
