You can buy it for a much lower price as a block of chocolate and use a knife to chop it into chunks.
You can use this recipe to make standard size cookies or mini cookies. Just adjust the amount of cookie dough you pull off to make different size cookies.
The mixture doesn’t spread out much so the size of your cookie dough ball once you’ve pressed it is roughly how big your cookie will be.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_gap _id=”22″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”23″ ][cs_element_image _id=”24″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”25″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”26″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”27″ ][cs_content_seo]Recipe Q&A\n\nSubheadline space\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”28″ ][cs_content_seo]Q: What type of oats do I need to use? \n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”29″ ][cs_content_seo]A: I use rolled oats but have also used jumbo oats in the past. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_gap _id=”30″ ][cs_element_text _id=”31″ ][cs_content_seo]Q: What egg replacement is used?\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”32″ ][cs_content_seo]A: The egg replacement used in this recipe is flax egg.

Due to the size they’re also great for BLW if you’re weaning your baby. My 8 month old loves these as he can easily hold them.
This recipe is so easy to make with your kids. They can help pour the ingredients into the bowl, mix and even shape the cookies.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_gap _id=”40″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”41″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”42″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”43″ ][cs_element_text _id=”44″ ][cs_content_seo]
Dark Chocolate and Oat Cookies
Ingredients
- 125 g self-raising flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup plant butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 flax egg To make a flax egg add 1 tbsp ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water to a bowl or cup, mix and then leave for 5 minutes.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180c | 356f | Gas Mark 4.
- Combine all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Make sure it's completely mixed - get messy and use your hands if you need to. You'll know it's ready when it holds its shape in a lump of cookie dough.

- Place each of the cookie dough balls on a lined baking tray with space in between each one.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until they're starting to go golden brown on top.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes before you dig in and enjoy!
