Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Makes 16 cookies

Ingredients

2 tbsp ground chia (or ground flax)
1/2 cup water
2 cup gluten-free oats
1 cup almond flour
1 cup gluten-free flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut oil melted
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chunks

Instructions

Make "chia eggs" by whisking together ground chia and water. Let sit for at least 5 mins.
In a large mixing bowl combine oats, almond flour, gluten-free flour, baking powder, sea salt and cinnamon. Mix to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine your wet ingredients: chia eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir to form a sticky dough. Add chocolate chunks and mix again. Cover bowl with a clean dish towel and refrigerate cookie dough mixture for 20-30 minutes (this allows for easier, non-sticky rolling).
Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and gently form dough into balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place cookie dough balls on a baking tray, approx. 2 inches apart from each other, and push down to flatten. Bake cookies for 10-12 mins. Or until golden and browned.
