Ingredients
- 2 tbsp flaxmeal
- 6 tbsp room temperature water
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats, plus 2 tbsp more rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, do not use big coconut flakes
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, vegan/dairy free if desired
- flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl make the flaxegg by mixing the flaxmeal (ground flaxseed) and 6 tbsp of water together. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to form a gel.
- In a larger bowl mix together the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Next, mix in the flaxegg after it has gelled. Pour the oat flour, rolled oats, shredded coconut, baking soda, and sea salt over the wet mixture. Give the dry ingredients a little stir, then mix everything together. Stir in the chocolate chip.
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, scoop the cookies using about 2 tbsp dough per cookie. Gently flatten the cookies.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt once the cookies come out of the oven.
