Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup softened coconut oil
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chopped into chunks
- ¼ cup pomegranate arils
- ¼ cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Add the coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and egg to a large mixing bowl. Cream them together until as smooth as possible
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of sea salt
- Stir the flour mixture and the coconut oil/sugar mixture together until just combined. Add in the oats, chocolate chunks, pomegranate arils and pecans. Mix well
- Scoop tablespoon sized balls of the batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper (you should get about 16). Pop the tray with the cookies into the fridge/freezer for about 20 minutes. This will make them crispier when baked
- Whilst the cookies are in the freezer, pre-heat the oven to 350F
- Pop the cookies into the oven and bake the cookies for about 14 minutes, until they are just beginning to look golden
- Remove from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy
Notes
If you don't have a huge baking sheet, then you will want to do this on two baking sheets (or in two batches), or they will stick together when they spread
