Healthy Oat cookies

INGREDIENTS:

Dried Ingredients:

3 cup Oats
1.5 cup flour (buckwheat or almond work well, or a combination)
5 Tbsp brewers yeast
3 Tbsp ground flaxseed or LSA
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
NB: optional: dessicated coconut or chopped almonds can replace 1/2-1 cup of the oats or flour

Wet ingredients:

170g butter
4 Tbsp coconut oil
1.5 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark choc chips or dried fruit such as apricots (diced)

METHOD:

These cookies are easily adapted to suit your preference. They're quite filling so great for a school lunch box or a hungry breast feeding Mum! They also give a quick afternoon boost when those blood sugar levels tend to drop.

In a large bowl mix all the dried ingredients well - set aside
In another bowl use an electric beater to beat the butter and coconut oil until creamy
Add sugar and beat until fluffy
Add egg & egg yolk, add vanilla and mix
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well with a spatula
Stir in dark chocolate chips / dried fruit
Roll mixture into balls and place on a baking tray, flatten with a fork
Bake for 10-15 mins at 150°C (302°F) until golden (the biscuits will be soft until they cool down)
