How To Make Oat Flour:

The best part about this recipe is you can easily make your own oat flour. Oat flour is easy to make by simply blending oats in a blender or food processor until it resembles a flour. 

You can also buy oat flour, but I prefer just making it myself. Most people have oats on hand so there is no need to go out and buy another flour. 

Making your own oat flour will also keep extend the shelf life. You can simply make it when you need it for a recipe. 

Ingredients:

Here are the ingredients you need to make oat flour chocolate chip cookies.

Coconut Oil: I like to use refined liquified coconut oil. 

Almond or Cashew Butter: Either nut butter works for this. You can even use sunflower seed oil if you have a nut allergy. 

Vanilla Extract: Use vanilla extract for vanilla bean paste. 

Chia Seeds: Chia seeds work for a great egg substitute, plus adds great fiber. 

Oats: I use organic rolled oats and blend them to make my own oat flour. 

Almond Flour: I like to use a blanched almond flour. 

Flax Meal: This adds some extra fiber. 

Brown Sugar: This adds a delicious sweet flavor. You can also use coconut sugar if you would like. 

Turbinado Sugar: This adds a great crunchy texture to the cookies. 

Chocolate Chips: I use semisweet chocolate chips. You can use dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips as well. 

Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Used for leavening. 

Salt: The salt balances out all the flavors. 

How To Make Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Oat Flour:
   • If you don’t have store-bought oat flour, you can easily make it at home by grinding rolled oats in a magic bullet, food processor or blender until you achieve a fine, flour-like consistency.

Combine the Chia Seed and Water:

Combine the chia seed with water until the chia seeds have absorbed the water.

Add the Sugar and Wet Ingredients:

Add the sugars, nut butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Combine the Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flax meal, oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.

Fold in Chocolate Chips:

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be generous – it’s all about that decadent chocolate goodness!

Refrigerate The Dough:

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 

Scoop and Bake:

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

Bake to Perfection:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The center may appear slightly undercooked, but it will continue to set as the cookies cool.

Cool and Enjoy:

Allow the cookies to cool. Once cooled, indulge in the irresistible combination of chewy oat flour goodness and melty chocolate chips.

Varitations:

• Nutty Crunch: Add a cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for an extra crunch and nutty flavor.
• Dried Fruit Twist: Experiment with the addition of dried fruits like cranberries or raisins to add a sweet and chewy element.
• Sea Salt Sprinkle: Before baking, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie for a delightful sweet and salty contrast.
