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... πŸ˜‹


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,
