How to make Vegan Breakfast Cookies
( step by step pics)
1- In a small bowl add the flax meal and water. Mix it well and set a side for 10 minutes to thicken.
2 & 3 – In a bowl combine the oats, coconut, almond flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
4 & 5 – In a large bowl add the flax egg, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix it well till it is smooth and lump free.
6 – Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
7 – Mix it well. At this point you can taste the dough for sweetness and if needed add little more maple syrup.
8 – Add the chocolate chips, cranberry and sunflower seeds and gently fold in. If the dough is very sticky, place it in the refrigerator for few minutes.
9 – Using an ice scream scooper, take some of the dough and roll to form a round shape. Repeat with the remaining dough and place the cookie dough about one inch a apart. I got 12 cookies.
10 & 11 – Flatten the cookie dough with the back of a spoon (these cookies will not spread) and bake in the pre heated oven at 350 F for 16-19 minutes. ( mine where ready by 18 minutes)
12 – Remove the cookies and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

These were great. The easiest cookie I ever made, besides rice krispie treats. Taste is delicious. I will def make these again.i added an egg because I am not totally vegan and only had peanut butter.

So glad you enjoyed the cookies.

I made these today and they were amazing! I used one egg instead of flaxseed replacement option. I got 18 cookies and baked for 18 minutes but next time will do less time as my cookies were smaller. My batter was very runny and I didn’t have time to refrigerate so I just added a few tablespoons of flaxseed meal and it worked. Thanks for this yummy but healthy recipe

So happy you liked the cookies Sajida. Wondering if the egg made it more runny. But I am glad you added the flax meal.
