25 minutes prep
15 minutes cook
Makes 8 large cookies
Ingredients:
Dry:
2 cups spelt flour
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon powder
pinch nutmeg, ground
Wet:
2/3 cup maple syrup
2/3 cup safflower oil
2 tablespoons filtered water
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Combine wet ingredients in another large bowl. Add wet to dry and mix well. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Place 8 scoops on a well oiled or parchment paper-lined baking sheet and flatten slightly with hand. Space evenly so cookies have room to spread.
Bake until golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. Allow to cool before enjoying.
NOTE: variations:
Replace walnuts with toasted pecans or macadamia nuts.
Replace chocolate chips with carob chips or dried fruits.
Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa or carob powder to above.
