Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free + Vegan)

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup

virgin coconut oil (room temperature)

1/3 cup

almond butter (can also use any nut butter of choice, or sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free option)

2/3 cup

coconut sugar

flax eggs (2 tablespoons flax meal + 6 tablespoons water - whisk them together and let sit for 5 minutes to gel)

1 tsp

vanilla extract

1/2 tsp

baking soda (use 1/4 teaspoon if using sunflower seed butter - helps prevent the cookies from turning green when they cool!)

1/2 tsp

salt

1/2 cup

gluten-free rolled oats

2/3 cup

chopped dark chocolate (make your own chocolate to keep 100% Paleo)
