Oat Flour Cookies: Choc Chip + Double Chocolate



Kia ora tātou! I thought I'd share the recipe to these oat flour cookies since 8 people voted yes on my IG poll 😝. Amidst, the great covid shortage of flour, I had to improvise with oats. 
To make oat 'flour' whizz rolled oats in a high-speed blender such as a magic bullet or food processor and you're done! Oats are naturally gluten-free but if you are extremely intolerant just grab a pack of certified GF oats.

If you use coconut sugar, vegan milk and dark choc these cookies are VG GF RSF :) However, use whatever ingredients you have on hand, milk choc chips or chunks of Whittakers would be delicious too! Also, no eggs means that you could just eat the batter raw... 😋


OAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup oat flour (blended oats)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla extract or essence
2 tbsp melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
3 - 5 tbsp mylk (start w/ 3 tbsp and add more if needed)


Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Mix all dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle add in wet ingredients and mix well.
3. Cool batter in the fridge for 10 mins (you can skip this step if you don’t mind a flatter cookie).
4. Spoon out about tablespoon sized mixture leaving plenty of space apart.
5. Bake for 10 mins or until golden.
Leave to cool on a wire rack (if you have one) for at least 10 min and enjoy! :)


DOUBLE CHOC CORNFLAKE COOKIES 
These are based on popular antipodean biscuits that are named after a country starting with A (an interesting read).

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup oat flour (blended oats)
1/2 cup cornflakes or branflakes optional
2 tbsp sifted cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar 

1 tsp vanilla extract or essence
2 tbsp melted coconut oil or veg oil
3 - 5 tbsp mylk (start w/ 3 tbsp and add more if needed)

Topping: 1/2 cup chocolate melted + extra cornflakes or nuts. 

Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Mix all dry ingredients. Make a well in the middle add in wet ingredients and mix well. 3. Spoon out about tablespoon sized mixture using two spoons or your hands!
4. Bake for 15 -20  mins or until crisp.
5. Leave to cool on a wire rack (if you have one) for at least 10 min. 
6. Melt the chocolate - I simply put a heatproof bowl over a pot of hot water.
7. Top cookies with melted chocolate & decorate with cornflakes or nuts such as walnuts.

I hope you enjoy ISO baking and you eat all of the treats you please. 

Stay safe, kia kaha Aotearoa,
