Ingredients

  • 4 TBS Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds ground
  • 1 large egg
  • 50 grams dark chocolate min 70% chopped or chocolate chips
  • 1-2 TBS of almond milk if needed to help mixture stick together.

Instructions

  • 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.
