Ingredients

• 120 g Rolled oats
• 65 g Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 60 ml Coconut oil (melted)
• 80 ml Honey
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 80 g Dark chocolate chips
• 30 g Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently flatten the tops of the cookies slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your healthy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
