Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Skillet Cookie
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed or ground chia seeds
- 3 tablespoon water
- 1 cup oat flour
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips plus additional for topping, if desired
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup oats plus additional for topping, if desired
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup applesauce, room temperature
- ¼ cup maple syrup, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a small cast iron skillet. The one I used is 7 inches around.
- Prepare flax or chia egg by whisking ground seeds with water in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl combine flour, oats, chocolate chips, baking soda, and salt. Add flax or chia egg, oil, applesauce, and maple syrup. Stir to thoroughly combine.
- Transfer batter to skillet and spread out evenly. Bake for 30 -35 minutes or until cooked through and edges begin to pull away from pan.
- While cookie bakes prepare nice cream if using by blending 2-3 frozen bananas, a splash of non dairy milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy. Remove cookie from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving with nice cream.
