Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons ground flax + 1/4 cup warm water
- 3/4 cup nut butter (cashew or almond)

1) Preheat your oven to 350* F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2) In a large mixing bowl mix together the flax and water until slightly thickened, about 10 seconds. Let sit for 5 minutes to become gel like consistency.
3) Add in the nut butter, maple syrup or agave, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
4) Add in all of the dry ingredients except the chocolate chunks. Stir until fully combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
