Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups rolled oats

  • ⅓ cup oat flour (pulse oats until finely ground)

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted 

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 cup raisins

  • 1/4 cup ground flax seeds

  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds

  • ¼ cup shredded coconut

  • ¼ tsp of salt

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a mixing bowl, mix together all wet ingredients (coconut oil, honey, egg, vanilla).

  • In a separate bowl, mix together all dry ingredients (oats, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, brown sugar, raisins, ground flax seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, salt).

  • Then using a rubber spatula, fold the oat mixture into the egg mixture. The dough will be a little crumbly, which is okay! If dough is too crumbly, add in another tablespoon of flour (coconut flour works well here).

  • Form into about 15 cookies

  • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes depending on the size of your cookies.

  • Let cool and enjoy!
