What you’ll need to make these Healthy Sea Salt Brownie Oat Cookies
The list:
- Coconut Sugar – Coconut sugar is a natural sugar from coconuts and 100% tree-to-table, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals and preservatives usually found in conventional sugars. It’s the replacement for regular brown sugar and tastes literally the same.
- Coconut oil – I used unrefined coconut oil. But feel free to use any kind of oil.
- Milk – Any milk of choice works. In my case, I used unsweetened almond milk.
- Vanilla extract
- Oat flour – I usually buy it, but you can make your own by blending quick oats into fine powder. Blend extra oat flour and save it in an airtight container for other baking or cooking recipes.
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Cacao powder – I used unsweetened cacao powder because you’ll be adding extra sugar later on. Also, cacao powder makes a richer chocolatey dessert.
- Salt – Adding salt to chocolate recipes is vital! It enhances the flavor.
- Chocolate chips
- Sea salt
How to make these Healthy Salted Brownie Cookies
You’ll be amazed at how easy these cookies can be made. Make sure to mix wet ingredients together and then add the dry ingredients.
The Instructions
- Prepare oven for baking: Pre-heat oven at 180C (350F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine oat flour, unsweetened cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut sugar, coconut oil, milk, vanilla extract.
- Mix everything: Mix everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined.
- Assemble: If the dough is too soft to form the cookie, freeze for 5 minutes. Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet leaving 1 inch of space around each. Add chocolate chips and sprinkle some sea salt on top and with your fingers, gently flatten each cookie to be about 3/4-inch thick.
- Cook: Bake for 15 minutes. They’ll still look uncooked and soft but you need to let it cool before eating.
How to store
You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. It should keep up to 2 days. You can also store them directly in the refrigerator for up to a week. Consume directly from the fridge or if you would like a fresh-baked cookie just microwave for 15 seconds.
