These cookies are my new favorite! I love the crunchy oats and the chewy inside. The recipe is super simple, you just need 7 ingredients, it's vegan if you use vegan chocolate and gluten-free with gluten-free oats. You don't need any fancy ingredients, we are just going to use a flax egg- that might be new for you.
Basically, a flax egg is made out of flax seeds and water, you let that mix sit for 5 minutes until it turns into a gel. This has the same effect as an egg and is often used in vegan baking.
RECIPE:
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp. coconut oil
- 3 tbsp. agave syrup
- 3 tbsp. nut butter
- 6 tbsp. oats
- 3 tbsp. ground nuts
- 3 flax eggs (3 tsp. flax seeds and 6 tsp. water)
- a few drops of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of baking soda
- OPTIONAL: Chocolate chunks; vanilla extract; any spices
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F.
- Start by making your flax egg. Mix together the flax seeds and the water and stir. Then let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine coconut oil, nut butter, agave syrup, and ACV.
- Add the ground almonds, oats, and baking soda. Then stir everything together and place the batter on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet, using a teaspoon.
- Sprinkel your cookies with chocolate.
- Bake them for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Enjoy!
