Not only are these Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies delicious, but they are vegan and refined sugar-free, making them a great snack!
Ingredients
  • 2 flax eggs
  • ¾ cup coconut oil (neutral), melted
  • ½-3/4 cup coconut sugar (depending on how sweet you want them)
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract OR a real vanilla bean
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • 1½ cups spelt flour
  • 3 cups oats
  • ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup dried cherries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine ground flax seed and hot water. Whisk and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the consistency of an egg forms.
  4. In a large bowl, add flax eggs, coconut oil (melted), sugar, vanilla and maple syrup and whisk until combined.
  5. Add in dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  6. Add in oats, chocolate and dried cherries.
  7. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Note: I find it's better to slightly under cook these and let them cool.
