Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cups Carob powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.33 cups Dairy-free dark chocolate chunks (optional)
- 0.33 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, carob powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a slightly sticky dough forms. If using, gently fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chunks or walnuts.
Scoop about two tablespoons of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them to allow for spreading.
Gently press down on each ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies may still look slightly soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Vegan Brownie-ish Carob Oat Cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
