Chickpea Coco-Oat CookiesIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 cup oats
3/4 cup wheat flour (or spelt)
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup chickpea flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt (optional)
1/2 cup oil (coconut and grapeseed work well)
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup pureed silken tofu
1 tablespoon soy milk or water
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:Preheat oven to 350F.
Sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in oats and coconut.
Whisk together oil and vegan sugar, this may have to be heated slightly if you are using coconut oil. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Add mixture to dry ingredients and combine well.
Drop by tablespoonful onto parchment lined baking sheet and flatten out to 1/2-3/4 thickness (these cookies do not spread much in the baking process). Bake for about 15-18 min or until tops are golden. Let cookies set on baking sheet before removing. For softer and chewier cookies, take cookies out a little earlier.
The nutty flavor of the chickpea flour combined with the toasted coconut, oats and molasses really make these taste almost peanut buttery!
Serves: one dozen
Preparation time: 15 min plus baking
Coconut oil or Earth Balance really give the best taste results for this cookie and you can change the flour ratio with good results as well. I like the 1/2 cup flour (wheat or spelt), 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup chickpea flour with 2T of silken tofu instead of 1/4 cup. Baked at 375F, the cookies come out crunchy on the edges and chewy in the middle (if not overbaked)! Yum!

And the tweaking never ends...a plain-er version: 1c wheat/spelt flour, 1/2c each oat and chickpea flour, 1/2c coconut oil, 3T molasses, 2T water, 1c sugar, 1/2t each baking powder and baking soda, 2t vanilla, pinch of salt.
