* DIY Oat flour; in a blender or food processor, blitz 1 cup rolled oats to form a fine (not coarse) “flour” consistency. DIY COMBO – add 1 cup rolled oats + 2 tbsp flaxseeds and grind together into a fine flour,

*DIY Ground flax; 1 cup flax seeds in a blender or food processor until finely ground. Store in fridge or freezer,

FLOUR  you can use ½ cup oat flour + ½ cup buckwheat flour to add a real earthiness in flavour.  Buckwheat is gluten-free.

*SUGAR for less sweet use ½ cup sugar.  ⅔ cup sugar makes for a sweet cookie!

*MELT coconut oil, so it’s in a liquid form not a white solid

*OIL use what you like the flavour of the oil can change the cookies’ flavour so adjust spices and vanilla to taste. Examples of what you can use coconut, sunflower seed, avocado, walnut, macadamia, olive oil, ghee, melted butter.

SWAP Chocolate chips for cacao nibs, currants, raisins, dried blueberries, other dried fruits like apricots cut-up choc chip size.

EGGS if you eat eggs and love eggs then add an egg, the cookies will rise more.  You will need to reduce the milk so start with 2 tbsp adding from there until you get a slightly sticky cookie dough consistency.
