Dry:
- 2 cups oat flour (Or sub with all-purpose flour, or a gluten-free blend)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
Wet:
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 flax egg (3 tablespoon ground flax seed + ¼ cup water)
- ¼ cup peanut butter, melted
- ¼ cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 mashed banana
- 1 teaspoon salt
Chocolate:
- ¼ cup vegan chocolate
- 1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil
Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then fold in the dry ingredients.
Dough will be fluffy and thick, if using all oat flour the dough will be a bit sticky. Scoop into balls and add to baking sheet. Optional: press down on the cookies with a fork.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Allow to fully cool before adding chocolate.
When ready for chocolate, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a mug in the microwave OR use a double broiler on the stovetop. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
