Ingredients

2 1/4 cup Old fashioned oats ~ gluten-free if needed
3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp oat flour ~ gluten-free if needed ~ you can also substitute 1 scoop of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides fir the tablespoon of oat flour
3 tbsp Nutritional yeast or Brewer’s yeast
1/2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Baking powder ~ corn-free if needed
1 cup Brown sugar
1 /2 cup Coconut oil or olive oil ~ I prefer the flavor of the coconut oil
1 Lg Egg or a flax egg ~ see notes to make a flax egg
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cups Dried wild blueberries, mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, or some of each

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners
In a blender, give the oats a few spins but don’t create oat flour.
Combine the lightly ground oats and the next 6 ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl combine softened coconut oil and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
Add coconut oil mixture with the oat mixture and stir well.
Fold in dried blueberries, chocolate chips or some of each.
Place scoops of dough, about 2 Tbsp onto prepared cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Let cool sit about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
These are fantastic frozen too.

Notes

How To Make a Flax Egg:
2 Tablespoons of ground flax seeds mixed with 1/3 cup water. Set aside while it thickens.

For more protein ~ you can substitute 1 scoop of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides for the one tablespoon of oat flour.
