Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup oats gluten free if required
  • cup oat flour (blend oats in a food processor)
  • ¼ cup macadamia nuts pulse blended to chop
  • 2 tablespoon desiccated coconut
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • pinch salt

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 flaxseed and water and stirring well. Set aside for ten minutes.
  • Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl. Once the flax egg is ready, add to the bowl along with the honey and almond butter. Stir very thoroughly.
  • Wet your hands and then use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out enough 'dough' for the cookie. Roll between your hands and then place on the baking tray. Pat down to form a cookie shape. Repeat to get 9-10 small cookies.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Check after 8 minutes for any signs of burning. They will still be quite moist, so transfer (carefully!) to a wire baking rack to cool. Then enjoy!

Notes

  • To make oat flour, simply blend oats in a blender or food processor.
  • I haven't tried it myself, but I suggest that pumpkin seed butter is a good swap for almond butter if you prefer to be nut free.
  • Again, I haven't tried it myself, but you can easily swap honey for maple syrup to make it a vegan recipe.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
