Choc and Nut Oaty Cookies

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Total: 35 mins | Quantity: 10 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 tblsp coconut oil
  • 2 tblsp ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup quinoa flakes
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup nut butter – I’ve tried both almond and peanut for these and they both taste great!
  • 1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1/4 cup pecan nuts – roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup walnuts – roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt the coconut oil and set aside
  2. Mix the ground flax seeds with 6 tablespoons of cold water and set that aside too while you mix everything else
  3. Preheat the oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4 and line a large baking tray (or 2 small) with parchment or a silicon mat
  4. In a large bowl stir together the oats, quinoa flakes, spices and coconut sugar
  5. Whisk the nut butter into the coconut oil then whisk in the flax 'egg'
  6. Add this mixture to your bowl of dry ingredients and using a rubber spatula stir everything together till just mixed then stir in the chocolate and chopped nuts
  7. Scoop spoonfuls onto your tray(s) and flatten with the back of a spoon
  8. Bake for 20 minutes until firm then leave to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely (though they really are absolutely the BEST when eaten warm!)
  9. Store in an airtight container
