      hope that went as planned!

  2. Michelle says:

    Ooo these look amazing and I’d really like to try them but I don’t have any almond flour 🙁 could I use plain flour or buckwheat flour by any chance?

    1. Richa says:

      Yes use 1/3 cup flour

    These are so good – thank you for the recipe! I didn’t have coconut, but that was completely fine – I used extra seeds/nuts instead. To those saying oats have gluten, this is 100% false; oats are a gluten-free food. The reason those of us who are gluten intolerant need to be careful of our source of oats is that they can easily come into contact with gluten-containing grains when farmed or when processed.

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      yes – always read labels carefully . thanks for popping in ♡

    Easy and so delicious. Love the crunch. I used a mixture of hemp seeds, sunflower, and chia with peanut butter.

    Just made these cookies, delicious. Added to my favourites. We like cookies not too sweet so I reduced the maple syrup to 1/4 cup, also only used 3/4 cup oats but increased the seeds/nuts to 1/2 cup, included some chopped dried cranberries with a mix of sunflower seeds, pumpkin, hemp, walnut and pecans. I didn’t add chocolate chips but put a few on top.
    Loved this recipe.

      Thanks!

    I’ve made these 3x at least – always a little different. So great. Question: I’m out of nut butter. I assume tahini would work. Any adjustments you’d consider? Thx!!

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      totatlly! no adjustments needed
