Servings 24 cookies
Author Ashley

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups oat flour
  • 3/4 cup chickpea flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ground
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • a few tablespoons organic cane sugar, for rolling optional

Instructions

  • Stir together the flours, spices, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the ground chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and mix well. Set aside to gel.
  • With a baking spatula or wooden spoon, cream together the sugar and coconut oil in a large mixing bowl. Add the molasses, apple sauce and gelled chia and mix.
  • Pour the dry mixture into the wet and, using a baking spatula, mix until everything is fully incorporated and you have a thick batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for an hour.
  • When the dough is almost done chilling, preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll the chilled dough into little balls (about 1 tablespoon of dough per ball). You can roll the dough in sugar if you desire. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet and press down lightly with a dampened fork. Bake for about 12 minutes.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for about 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling wrack to cool completely.
