Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Cashew or Almond Butter
  • ½ Cup Date Sugar see notes for subs
  • ½ Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons Non-Dairy Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseeds
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ½ Cups Finely Ground Oat Flour
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl whisk the nut butter, date sugar, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, ground flaxseeds, and vanilla extract.
  • Add in the oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Roll the dough into two-tablespoon sized balls (I used a #40 cookie scoop). Place on the baking pan and use a wet hand to flatten.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy!

Notes

Subbing for date sugar
I use date sugar in my baking because it is made from fruit. Date sugar is dried dates, ground into a sugar consistency. So it is much healthier than any other sugar.
Date sugar is much different in baking than other sugars - it does not dissolve. So if you would like to use a different sugar, you need to make some changes to the recipe.
Make the following bolded changes to the recipe:
  • ½ Cup Cashew or Almond Butter
  • ⅓ Cup Coconut Sugar
  • ½ Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons Non-Dairy Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseeds
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 ½ Cups Finely Ground Oat Flour
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Cup Chocolate Chips
I have only tested these cookies using coconut sugar but I expect other sugars would work similarly.
