Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
- ¼ cup dark chocolate vegan if needed
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- â…“ cup brown sugar or sub coconut sugar
- ¼ cup aquafaba the brine/liquid in a can of chickpeas
- 2 tbsp almond butter or other nut or seed butter
- 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, oats, coconut, chocolate, baking powder, salt, and sugar.3/4 cup almond flour, 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup dark chocolate, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/3 cup brown sugar
- In a separate bowl, beat aquafaba (using a handheld mixer or by whisking vigorously) until light and fluffy and loose peaks have formed. (Add a little cream of tartar to help them along if not whipping.)1/4 cup aquafaba
- To the aquafaba, add the almond butter, oil, and vanilla (optional) and beat or whisk to combine. (The mixture will deflate a little – that's OK). Then add to dry ingredients and mix until combined. You should have a firm, semi-tacky dough. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.2 tbsp almond butter, 3 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 180C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop chilled dough into roughly 2-Tablespoon amounts (I like this scoop) and form into small discs. Place on baking sheet with about a 2.5cm gap in between each cookie to allow for spreading. There should be about 12 cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn (especially on the bottoms) – they bake quickly toward the end. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Store leftovers in a loosely sealed container at room temperature up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for 1 month. We recommend storing them in the freezer once cooked to help retain their crispy exterior. These are so delicious when warm and dipped in almond milk or hot cocoa!
