  3. In a separate bowl, mix nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly.
