Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp flax meal
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter room temperature
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats gluten free
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used half macadamia and half walnuts)
  • 1 cup vegan mini chocolate chips separated
  • flaked sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Prepare two baking trays with parchment paper and then set them aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flax meal and water and then let it gel for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, use a handheld mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, cane sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add in the flax/water mix and continue to beat the mixture until well combined.
  • In another bowl, stir together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, chopped nuts and 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a dough forms. Chill the dough 10 minutes in the freezer to firm up a bit. Preheat the oven to 350 F and use a cookie scooper to make 10 evenly sized cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart. Press the balls down halfway and bake them for 11-12 minutes and the edges are golden brown. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to continue cooling for additional 10-15 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave safe bowl in 15 second increments, stirring between each until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or plastic zip bag and cut the corner. Drizzle chocolate over each cookie. Finish with flaked sea salt. Chill the cookies in the freezer for 5 minutes or until the chocolate is solid before serving.

So excited to try these; they’re in the oven now. being quarantined I’d have to be creative.
No gluten free flour equals homemade almond and oat flour mixed with a little flour that’s in the house here. 50% almond, 40 %oat and 10% whole wheat.
Not wanting to use sugar I used 3/4 of a cup of bananas.
I’ll let you know what the outcome is.
Thnx
