Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoon water
  • ½ cup coconut oil at room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup plant milk I use oat milk!
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-3 tablespoon Brewer's yeast start low and work your way up!
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to make your "flax egg" - set aside while you prepare the rest.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together your coconut oil, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Whisk in the flax mixture, plant milk and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brewer's yeast to the mixture, and combine using a spatula. Mix until your dough comes together.
  • Finally, gently fold in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out your cookie dough into individual cookies. I usually get around 24 cookies.
  • Bake cookies in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and lightly puffed up.
  • Let cool slightly before enjoying! These can be stored at room temperature in a sealed container for several days.
  • If you'd like to freeze the cookies, freeze them after scooping out individual portions of cookie dough. When you're ready to bake, add a few minutes to the cooking time. No need to thaw out beforehand!
