Oat and Seed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookies are an amazing snack. They are easy to make, filling and a firm favourite. These oat and seed chocolate chip cookies are delicious with the added health benefits of seeds and oats mixed in. I love guilt free snacks and these are quick to make, tasty and will make you popular with all your friends. I made them into bite sized biscuits but you can make larger ones too if you don't like to share! 

You will need: 

• 4oz dairy free butter
• 4oz brown sugar
• orgran no egg, egg replacer (equivalent of 1 egg) 
• 4oz oats 
• 2tbsp of mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, linseed)
• 2tbsp chai seeds
• 5oz flour 
• 1 packet of dark chocolate chips (about 100g) 

Instructions: 

• Pre-heat the oven to Gas Mark 5
• Cream the butter and sugar together
• Mix the egg replacer and water in a separate bowl (follow the packet instructions to replace 1 egg), add this to the mixture and stir in
• Add the oats and seeds
• Add the flour and mix until a thick dough is formed and all the flour is mixed in
• Add the chocolate chips and stir until evenly mixed
• Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture out and place on a baking tray lined with grease proof baking paper
• Flatten the balls with a fork
• Bake in a hot oven for around 15 minutes, leave for 5 minutes longer if you like them browned 
• Leave to cool on a wire rack

This mixture makes around 16 small biscuits, which can be stored in an air tight container and enjoyed over a few days, however the mixture can also be used to make biscuits of any size. 

It is also very versatile recipe as the seeds can be replaced with chopped nuts and the chocolate can be taken out if you prefer plain biscuits. The best part about them is they are vegan and delicious! These will shock your non vegan friends. Let me know if you try the recipe in the comments and enjoy the cookies!
