This is a really delicious and easy cookie recipe that makes a great vegan alternative to store bought oat cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 3/4 cup wholemeal flour
- 1+1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raw cane sugar
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (softened but not totally melted)
- 1 egg equivalent egg replacer (flax egg or other)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or rice syrup)
- 1/4 cup non-diary milk (I used soy)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate (split into two 1/4 cup quantities)
Servings: cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl mix together the oats, flour, cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a seperate bowl whisk together the egg replacer, coconut oil, milk and vanilla essence.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and fold in the dried cranberries and half (1/4 cup) of the dark chocolate chunks.
- Spoon tablespoon amounts of the mixture onto the tray and flatten with your fingers. They will rise quite a bit but not spread very much so it isn't necessary to space the cookies very far apart.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until they have browned. Once baked place on a cooling rack.
- After the cookies have cooled, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of dark chocolate. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies or dip half of the cookie in the chocolate. Leave to set for a few hours (you can speed this process up by placing the cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes). Store in an air tight container.
