Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
• 0.5 cup Carob powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Coconut sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 0.33 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, carob powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using shredded coconut or chopped nuts, fold them into the dough using a spatula.

Step 6

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Gently press down on each cookie to flatten them slightly, as they will not spread much during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly dry.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
