It's easy to fall into the trap that because they are vegan/plant based then they must be healthy and to a certain extent this is try the hydrogenated fats of processed cakes and biscuits has been replaced here by healthy whole fats yet they are still only a healthier alternative to a treat so to eat all of them at once would still be bad. I am definitely guilty of that mentality!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of rolled oats
2 cups of almonds
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1/2 cup of agave
4 tsp of vanilla essence
3/4 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of xanthan gum
pinch of salt
(1 cup of dark chocolate chips if making chocolate chip cookies)
METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
2. Put the almonds into a food processor and pulse for 20 seconds. Add the oats and blend to create a chunky flour.
3. Add all of the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir.
4. Now add the wet ingredients and stir well.
5. Place a tablespoon of mix onto a baking tray and lightly push down on with hand to create a flat circle. The mixture is very loose so needs to be pressed together.
6. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until slightly golden brown but still soft.
