Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds, ground + 3 tbsp water
  • ⅓ cup soft coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom
  • Zest of ½ a large orange
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ⅓ cup oats
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips or chunks*
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with a non-stick silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. Make a vegan 'egg' by mixing the ground chia seeds and water in a small bowl. Let it gel up while you start the cookie dough.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the coconut oil and coconut sugar until homogeneous and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, salt, cardamom, and vegan 'egg' and mix until even.
  4. Add the baking soda, oat flour, and oats and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Portion out golf ball-sized pieces of cookie dough and flatten until about ¾" thick. These cookies don't spread much in the oven so shape them as desired. Arrange cookie dough on prepared cookie sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned, just before the centre is set. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then enjoy!
Notes
*Vegan option: Use a vegan chocolate, dark chocolate works fine but will give a more bitter flavour.
