Yo mama's choco-chip cookies revolutionized.


So these Bad boys kicked the butt of any chocalate chip-oatmeal cookie I have ever made, ate, or thought of making...hm.....AND, with no butter or white flour, they are heart-beating healthy.This Recipe is brought to you by Vegetarian Times but only because this is the first blog entry and I decided to play it safe and stick to a solid recipe before I unleash my inner tiger at you.

  • 3 Tbs. canola oil
  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups oat flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3 3.5-oz. bars bittersweet vegan chocolate, chopped, or 1½ cups vegan chocolate chips (12 oz.)
OVEN: 350 F
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
.

1. Blend the Walnuts in a food processor for about 1 minute, then add the oil and blend for 3 more minutes, until it looks like Peanut butter.
Note: from this point, I transferred the walnut mix to the kitchen aid mixer and blend the remaining ingredients using this, but if you don't have one, you can just transfer it to a bowl and use a hand-held mixer.

2. Put your Brown sugar and 1/2 Cup H2O in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil.....DON"T walk away, WATCH IT till it boils then TAKE IT OFF! so then pour this hot hot liquid in with the walnuts, add the vanilla, and blend till its all together and mixy-like-looking-lumpless.

3. So then you take your oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon mix is separately, then mix it in with the walnuty mixture. Let this mixture cool off for a while, then fold in the oats and chocolate chips.
Note: Oat flour can be expensive and hard to find. I used a mixture of spelt flour, rice flour and some other stuff, but you can use Brown Rice flower, Spelt flour, or just plain gluten free flour. Unless your pro at differentiating flour tastes, you will not tell a difference. Also, instead of Chocolate chips, you can use nuts or raisins or whatever......I won't hunt you down for being innovative.

4. From this point on, it's basic cookie dough knowledge: roll them into balls, and either flatten them, or leave them balled. put in oven, bake for 9-12 minutes until they're golden, and when you take them out, force yourself to walk away and let them cool, otherwise I guarantee it will get messy and eventually painful.


there you go kids.
