Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven

Ingredients
  

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup gluten free oats
  • ½ cup gluten free oat flour
  • ¾ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 tsp chai spice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

WET INGREDIENTS

  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax+5 tbsp water-whisk and set)
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • ½ cup tahini
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla

ADD INS

  • ½ cup walnuts (chopped)
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • 5 dates (finely chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make flax egg and let sit for at least 7 minutes.
  • Mix all dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Once flax has gelled, add-in all other wet ingredients. add wet to dry.
  • Next add your add-ins! Mix thoroughly. My mixture was quite wet so I used an ice-cream scoop to make big rounded shapes.
  • If you’re finding it too wet, place it in the refrigerator to harden up. I baked mine for about 17 minutes. Longer than a regular cookie so check after 15.
  • Once slightly browned remove and let cool on cookie sheet on wire rack.
