Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup oats gf if required
  • ⅛ cup oat flour
  • ½ cup blackberries halved
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • ¼ cup almond butter or other nut butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

For the flax egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190C / 375F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Make the flax egg by combining the milled flax with water and stirring well. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine.
  • Pour in the wet ingredients as well as the halved blackberries and flax egg, and stir well. The blackberries will likely 'bleed' and give you a pink dough, but that just makes it pretty!
  • Wet your hands and form about 5 small cookies with the dough (or use a cookie scoop). Place on the baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Transfer very carefully to a wire rack and allow to cool, then enjoy!

Notes

  • I suggest halving the blackberries so they don't 'bleed' too much when baking and to more evenly distribute through the cookie.
  • If the 'dough' seems too dry (perhaps if your nut butter is harder rather than liquid in consistency), then a teaspoon of melted coconut oil can be added.
  • Stir very thoroughly so the wet ingredients fully coat the oats.
  • Wet your hands before forming the cookies to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
  • Allow to cool before eating. If they are just out the oven they will likely crumble and break up.
