Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 1 cup oats (rolled, quick, or minute)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Handful chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees ℉.
- In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, cream together softened coconut oil, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Fold in chopped walnuts if using. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to chill.
- Drop about 1 tablespoon of dough onto a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- While the cookies bake, stir together Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and cinnamon to make the icing.
- Allow cookies to cool completely, then drizzle or spread the icing on top before serving.
Notes
- To make oat flour at home, blend rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground.
- Vanilla Greek yogurt will create a sweeter icing than plain yogurt.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For extra chai flavor, add a pinch of cardamom to the dough.
