Ingredients:
Prep Time: 5 mins | Makes: 14 cookies | Cooking Time: 15 mins
- 1 cup of rolled oats (or try Quinoa Flakes for a nutritious twist)
- ½ cup buckwheat flour
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons of The Healthy Chef Marine Collagen (unflavoured)
- A pinch of salt
- ½ tsp bi-carb soda
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 4 tbs raw honey or your favourite sticky sweetener
Method:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- First things first, let's get that oven heating up! Preheat it to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with some trusty baking paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients except for the bi-carb soda. This is where the magic of texture and flavour begins!
3. Melt and Combine:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Stir until they're beautifully combined, forming a luscious, golden mixture.
4. Create Some Foam:
- In a small cup, mix the bi-carb soda with 2 teaspoons of water. Now, add this to your coconut oil and honey mixture. Stir it in well until your mixture becomes aerated and foamy. This step is like a little kitchen science experiment!
5. Bring It All Together:
- Pour that foamy goodness into your dry ingredients and give it a good stir. Watch as the mixture comes together like a harmonious symphony of flavours.
6. Shape and Bake:
- Now, it's time to shape your cookies! Spoon out 1 tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and flatten them onto your lined baking tray. Repeat until you've crafted all your delightful cookies.
7. Time to Bake:
- Slide your tray into the preheated oven and let your cookies bake for approximately 15 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden hue. Your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of baked goodness!
8. Cool and Store:
- Once out of the oven, let your cookies cool on the tray for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store these little nuggets of joy in an air-tight container.
