Pre heat oven to 180C
Ground your flaxseeds and half the pumpkin seeds into a fine meal in a NutriBullet or food processor. If you like, you can ground the oats and all pumpkin seeds if you don't want a really textured cookie.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined, adding almond milk if needed to help stick together.
Roughly chop chocolate and stir in last.
Roll into small bowls and place on large baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Gently press down with a spoon to flatten then place in the oven for 15minutes or until edges are golden.
Leave to cool before transferring them as they will firm up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container or large freezer bag in freezer if freezing, or airtight container in fridge or pantry (depending on how hot it is where you live).
