Chocolate Cookkiiiiessss.. These cookies taste a bit like Lacey cookies.. and these are a must try!

The recipe is very forgiving.. just throw things in together and make a sticky cookie dough with decent amount of fat! and we are good to go!..I am going to make some granola recipe out of this with some more grains, seeds and dried fruit thrown in.. chocolate yummyness!
Â
Some amazing cookies I made earlier… Quinoa Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cardamom Cookies .. cookie heaven!
Seen below is fluffed up wet ingredients with cocoa powder just dropped in. And the cookie dough on parchment. Click picture to enlarge!

To increase portion size, increase wet to dry ingredients in 1:3 or 1:4 ratio. The final dough should like the dough on parchment paper above.
Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Vegan.
How to make Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Easy Vegan Dairy-free Eggless Recipe.Â
Ingredients Â
- 2 teaspoons flax meal
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 4 tablespoons Raw turbinado sugar or jaggery or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon Agave syrup
- 1.5 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, (a half tablespoon more for darker, and half less for less chocolatey)
- 2 tablespoons roasted Almond butter, Homemade nut butter recipes
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil, (or vegan butter like Earth Balance)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder, (or allspice)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons quinoa, blended coarsely or quinoa flour ( or use oats coarse flour, if you don't have quinoa)
- 2/3 cup oats, (Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned)
- 3 tablespoons self rising flour, or gf all purpose flour for gluten free version
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour, Or Rice Flour for a gluten free version
InstructionsÂ
- In a bowl, mix the flax meal and hot water and let sit for a minute.
- Add in the room temperature almond butter, coconut oil, sugar, agave and mix well by hand or by hand mixer until the mixture feels light.Â
- The almond butter I used is store bought and it takes a while to mix up. Mix and let sit for a few minutes and then mix again to work that almond butter. I used spoon and woman hand power for the mixing!
- Blend/grind the quinoa to a coarse flour along with the baking powder.
- Add in cocoa powder, quinoa, 1/2 cup oats, salt, cinnamon powder and lemon juice and the wheat and self rising flour and mix till just about combined.Â
- Add in more oats and flour if needed to get gooey muffin mixture kind of consistency, Or a very sticky dough. If you added too much flour or oats and the mixture gets too stiff and dry then add in a teaspoon oil and/or lemon juice to make it gooey and mildly stiff.
- Oil hands or tablespoon and pick up tablespoon full dough, drop them and flatten on parchment paper. Thinner the better.! It can get hard to work with the sticky mixture, so I usually dont make a perfect round shape.:)
- Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 12-14 minutes(add minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie). The cookies should not be runny or liquidy when done.
- Take cookies off baking tray and cool on rack for a few minutes if you can:)
- Store in airtight container for a week or so. Let me know how yours turn out!

Thankyou Pingwinka! Tadkapasta girls! Jesse and Mary!
Mary, the texture is quite fun, a bit like a cookie, but also crisp and chewy like a lacey chocolate cookie.. the quinoa adds some salty nuttyness or as my husband says a hidden popcorn flavor!:)
Thank you all for dropping by!
Mmmm, almond butter, oats, cocoa and coconut oil? Those all sound lovely! I’ve never tried quinoa in something like this, I bet the texture is really unique.
These look heavenly!!
They look so good, R. Just love the way you bake, so healthful and innovative. Great going!
