Recipe by Jean Pereira



















Ingredients:
Makes 30 small cookies

Dry ingredients:
3 cups oats (see notes)
1/4 cup coconut flour 
2 tbsp flax seed powder
2 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp maple syrup or honey 
2 tsp cinnamon powder 
1 tbsp cocoa powder 
1/2 cup sugar (add 1 cup if you like it sweet)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder 
1/2 - 1 cup cup chocolate chips

Wet ingredients:
3/4 cup coconut oil (stir it quickly to melt)
1/3 cup oat milk
3 egg whites
1 tbsp vanilla essence 

Steps:
  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper and set aside. 
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Don't add the chocolate chips. Set aside.
  3. Mix all the wet ingredients together in another bowl. 
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. 
  5. Last, add the chocolate chips.
  6.  Shape the dough in to balls of desired size using your palms. 
  7. Place it on the baking tray and gently flatten using your fingertips or the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes till the dough is cooked.  Cool for 15 minutes then transfer to an airtight container. 
  9. ENJOY!
Notes:
  • If the oats is too thick, run it through a blender for 10-15 seconds in the beginning so it's easier to absorb the wet ingredients. If you still find that the mixture is a bit dry and hard to shape into balls, add a tbsp of oat milk at a time and combine. 
  • If you increase any of the dry ingredients, you will have to increase the wet ingredients proportionately.
