Instructions

  • Whisk together flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to gel. This is our flax “egg”.
  • In your stand mixer, beat coconut oil and brown sugar together until combined.
  • Beat in vanilla and flax egg.
  • Beat in ground oats, whole oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Beat in chocolate chips.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, pack dough TIGHTLY into the scoop and turn out dough onto a silicone mat lined baking sheet - no more than 6 cookies on each baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Press down onto each cookie dough ball using the heel of your hand (it takes a little pressure since the coconut oil firms up), until they slightly flatten on the top — they should be 1 inch thick.
  • Bake cookies in preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cookies sit for 10 minutes, or until firm.
  • Transfer to a wire cooling rack to let finish cooling or eat immediately!

Notes

*Make ground oats by placing about 2 cups old fashioned oats in your food processor. Grind until the oats resemble flour. Measure out 1 and 1/4 cups ground oats and resume with recipe!
