Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup gluten free flour
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup coconut oil (room temperature i.e. solid but soft)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ cup rice milk (or your preferred milk)
- 170 grams dark chocolate
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 175° C (347° F) and large baking tray with baking paper.
- Add all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and the coconut oil, maple syrup and rice milk into a smaller bowl.
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls ( I made 16 out of this batter).
- Gently press them and bake in the oven for 11 minutes. After 11 minutes, take the cookies out and gently press a piece of the reserved dark chocolate in the centre. Bake the cookies for 1-2 minutes then remove from the oven. The cookies might look undone but they will be delicious.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes then place them on a cooling rack.
