Makes 12 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/8 cup (30 g) coconut oil (or olive or canola oil)
- Six tablespoons maple syrup (or any other liquid sweetener)
- One teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- 1/4 cup (30 g) coconut flour
- 1 1/2 cup (150 g) rolled oats (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
- 2/3 cup (100 g) raisins (or replace with any other dried fruit or allergy-friendly chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) plant-based milk (any milk is okay, according to your allergies)
Method of Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
- Place the coconut oil in a large bowl and melt over a pot of boiling water on the stove or in the microwave (skip this step if using any other oil).
- Once melted, add all the other ingredients to the same bowl.
- Mix well, adding a tiny splash more milk if it’s looking too dry.
- Leave the mixture to rest for 10 minutes, as leaving the oats to soak for a bit will make the cookie dough much easier to bind together.
- Take a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and use your hands to form it into a little patty.
- Lay it out onto a baking tray lined with greased baking paper.
