Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 1 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 2 tbsp water)
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup peanut butter (use sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ cups oat flour
- ½ cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silplat mat or parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flax and water and set aside to thicken (about 10 minutes).
- In a large bowl, add coconut oil, peanut butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Mix the ingredients until very smooth.
- Add in the baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix again until combined. Add in the oat flour and flax egg, and mix again.
- Finally, add in the chocolate chunks and stir by hand. Make sure everything is combined very well. Add a bit of plant milk if your batter is too dry, a tablespoon at a time.
- Roll batter into 12 large balls, place them on your prepared baking sheet, and press down gently on each ball, with the palm of your hand, to flatten.
- Bake for 12 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Notes
*Use sunflower seed butter to make these cookies nut-free.
*Add a tablespoon or two of plant milk (almond, hemp, soy, etc.) to your batter if it is too dry to roll into balls.
To make oat flour: Take 1½ cups rolled oats and add to your food processor. Process until the oats resembles flour. 1½ cups rolled oats = 1½ cups oat flour.
