Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup Oat Flour
- ½ tbsp Baking Soda
- 1 tbsp Potato Starch Alternative: Tapioca Starch
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 tbsp Vegan Milk You can use any Vegan milk such as Oat, Soy, Almond.
- 3 tbsp Maple Syrup Alternative: Date Syrup or Agave Syrup
- 1 pinch Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Optional
- 3 tbsp Coconut Oil, Melted
- 1/3 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the oat flour, a pinch of salt, one tbsp of potato starch (or tapioca starch), a pinch of cinnamon.
- Pour the the plant-based milk, the maple syrup and the melted coconut oil. Make sure the coconut oil has cooled slightly before mixing, so it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. This step is important, as it allows the oat flour to absorb the liquids and improves the final texture.
- At this stage, you can keep the dough simple or add ingredients such as chocolate chips, raisins, chopped dates, or nuts. This is where you can adjust the flavor and texture depending on your preference (see the variations section below).
- Form small balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Gently flatten them, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–13 minutes.
- Once baked, transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely. This helps them set and develop their final texture.
For drier, crispier cookies, bake them for a total of 15 minutes. For softer cookies with a tender center, stop baking at around 10 minutes.
If you don’t have a rack, you can simply leave them on parchment paper, they will still firm up as they cool.
