Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Chosen Foods Avocado Oil
- Spiced Chai Avocado Oil Spray for greasing pan
- 1/3 cup palm sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites whipped to soft peaks
- 2 ½ cups certified gluten-free oats
- 1 ¾ cup gluten-free flour or brown rice flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ cup cocoa nibs
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a cookie sheet with Spiced Chai Avocado Oil Spray.
-
Cream butter and sugar until light. Add vanilla and eggs.
-
Stir in oats, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, chia, and cocoa nibs. Dough will be slightly stiff.
-
Fold in the whipped eggs. These just add a little bit of fluff to the dough.
-
Bake in the oven on the center rack for about 12 minutes. These don’t bake down like regular cookies, so if you want a flatter cookie, press them down a bit before baking.
Recipe Notes
For sweeter cookies, add 3 tbsp of maple syrup to the mixture. For moister cookies, add chia gel to combat crumbles. You will love the health benefits and texture it offers.
