Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cup oatmeal DIVIDED
- ½ cup Healthy Homemade Nutella
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 flax egg 3 tablespoons water + 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a small bowl, prepare your flax egg by whisking 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water.
- Set the "egg" aside for 5 minutes to gel.
- In a food processor, process 1 ½ cups of oatmeal into a fine flour.
- In a large bowl whisk or use a hand mixer to combine the Nutella, coconut oil, maple syrup and flax egg together. Add in the ground oat flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt and stir until well mixed. Fold in the whole oats and chocolate chips.
- Drop the cookie dough by 2 tablespoon amounts and flatten the balls slightly to form cookie shapes.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets 180 degrees half way through. Let the cookies cool completely* and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week.
Notes
*Because these cookies are gluten free they will crumble slightly if you don't let them cool fully before eating. They will set even more if you store them in an airtight container in your fridge.
