Ingredients:
Dry
- 2 cups Chantal Organics Quick Rolled Oats
- 1 ½ teaspoon Ceres Organics Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch salt
Wet
- 2 Tablespoons Waihi Bush Organic Flax Fibre - LSA
- 4 Tablespoons warm water
- ½ cup BioBalance Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
- ½ cup The Keepers Apothecary Sweet Dreams Honey Blend

Blackcurrant Cashew Cream (Optional)
- 1 cup Ceres Organics Whole Raw Cashews, soaked until softened
- 2 Tablespoons coconut cream

Method:
- Preheat the oven to 160 °C fan-bake and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl combine the flax fibre and water, set aside to let thicken. This will act as your vegan egg replacement and help bind everything together.
- In a food processor, blitz the oats into a fine flour-like consistency. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and combine with cinnamon, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- To the dry ingredients add coconut oil, honey, and vanilla. Mix until everything is well combined. Using your tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop out portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden, let cool on a wire rack.
- To make the icing add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Once cookies have cooled, spread icing on the underside of one cookie then place a second cookie on top and gently press together.
