- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil or coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.

- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, oil, vanilla extract, and nut butter.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is thoroughly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking sheet, spread into an even layer, and press down firmly with the back of a spatula.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center looks set. Do not stir.
