Oatmeal Chia Breakfast Cookies

By Bailey1_

Oatmeal Chia Breakfast Cookies make a wonderful breakfast that is vegan, all natural and full of fiber. Most vegan breakfast cookies can get pretty dry once they have cooled down, but these remain moist, soft and chewy. The dough is very versatile, so if you prefer bigger cookies you can always use 2-3 tbsps. of dough.

Ingredients

• 1 cup oats
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 tsps. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup apple sauce
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 tbsps. vegan butter, softened ( I used earth balance)
• 1 cup coconut sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl mix chia seeds and apple sauce, let the mixture set. While mixture is setting combine oats, flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. To the chia mixture add coconut sugar, vanilla extract and butter; add dry mixture to large bowl until all the ingredients are combined. Place a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough on parchment paper, use a spoon to create your cookie shape. Place cookies in the oven for 15- 25 minutes or until cookies are firm to the touch.  Let cool and store in air tight container.
