Oats Lady

I thought about a fun treat to enjoy during the Holidays and these Healthy Gingerbread Cookie Balls came to mind! They are literally cookies shaped into balls but made with healthier ingredients.

Ingredients

Dry ingredients

2 1/2 cup oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup coconut sugar

Wet ingredients

3/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 tbsp ginger

Instructions

Preheat oven at 180 C
Gather and measure all the ingredients by starting to mix the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt in a bowl.
In another separate bowl, add-in the coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Add and mix the wet ingredients with the dry ones. No worries, it will look a bit dry once is well combined.
Roll into 1-inch ball, using your hands and a spoon to mold them together. Should yield around 20 small balls.
Line a tray with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil. Place the balls and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.

No ground ginger? Use fresh minced ginger
