Servings: 26 -36 cookies (mine made 31 cookies)
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free rolled oats
- ½ cup gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- ½ cup unblanched almond meal
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or raw coconut chips
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted natural creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 flax eggs 2 tablespoons golden ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons warm water, whisked together, set for 15 mins
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- 2 tablespoons coconut and gluten free rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, almond meal, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: peanut butter, coconut oil, sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs and vanilla.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well incorporated.
- Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Using a fork, flatten cookies to desired thickness—they won’t spread much while baking. Optionally, press coconut flakes and oats onto the tops of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Place baking sheet onto cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool on sheet for 10 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, lift and transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack, cooling completely before storing. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
