Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 tbsp brewers yeast
- 3 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 12 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix the first eight ingredients together.
3. Next, in a smaller bowl, or the bowl of your electric mixer, beat together the butter and coconut oil on medium until creamy.
4. Add the sugar to the bowl and beat until fluffy on medium to high speed (approximately four to five minutes).
5. Next, add the egg and egg yolk to the mixture and beat until well combined.
6. Then add the two teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix until well blended.
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on a low speed until just combined.
8. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula — you want these evenly dispersed.
9. Grease your baking sheet (this helps with sticking). Then scoop the dough onto the baking sheet — using an ice cream scoop helps with size uniformity.
10. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes. Cool completely before storing. The dough also freezes well (if you want to make a bunch at once to keep on hand).
