Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Oat flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Coconut sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg (large, or flax egg for vegan version)
• 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% or higher cacao)
• 0.25 cups Optional: Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg (or flax egg).

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the cookies dense.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Flatten the tops of the cookies slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as these cookies won't spread much during baking.

Step 8

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
