Vegan Coconut Oatmeal Cookies+ CHOCOLATE HUMMUS is Back!
Since starting The Colorful Kitchen a little over a year ago, the most popular (by far) has been Chocolate Hummus. By now you’re probably very familiar with my love of sweet/salty snacks so I’ll spare you the story about how I decided to make a batch of Chocolate Hummus when I was in the mood for something sweet but not too sweet…you know the drill..
Anyways, I’m all about eating any kind of hummus by the spoonful but I decided to whip up a batch of not-too-sweet Coconut Oatmeal Cookies for dipping purposes. I’m really excited about these cookies because they use very little sweetener (just 1 tbs of agave) and are nicely flavorful. The oats give the cookies a hearty texture, which is the perfect contract to the hummus.
I rolled out the batter and used a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but you can feel free to roll the batter into balls with your hand. My cookies were a little over 1/4″ thick and needed 12 minutes in the oven, so if your cookies are thicker just be sure to add a little extra baking time.
- 1 tbs ground flaxseed
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 2 tbs shredded coconut
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- dash of salt
- 1 tbs agave
- 3 tbs coconut oil, softened
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare flax "egg" by mixing flax seed with 3 tbs warm water in a small cowl. Let sit for at least 10 minutes before adding to batter.
- Whisk all dry ingredients together in large bowl. Add wet ingredients (including flax "egg) and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Use your hand to form 1" rounds and flatten to ¼"- ½" OR roll batter out and cut shapes with cookie cutter.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes (varies depending on thickness of cookies) until edges are lightly browned.
AAAHhh!!!! Did you just put chocolate in hummus??!! Genius, lady!!! And those cookies look sublime!!
Thank you!! 🙂
Looks great. I have a huge bag of coconut flour so this may help dent it a bit. 🙂
These are so delicious, exactly what I was looking for a long time! The only problem is that the dough turned out very dry and it could not hold together at all. I add one more Tbs of coconut oil but did not change much. I ended up eating crumbs but still so good. Thank you for the recipe! If you have any suggestion how to fix that dough, please let me know.
I’m glad you like the flavor but that’s unfortunate about the consistency! Did you mix the batter well? Sometimes it takes a little hand kneading to get the batter just perfect. 🙂
Beautiful site! I wish to try your cookies.
Missing liquid in this recipe (?), coconut flour absorbs a lot.
Thank you!
