These incredibly chewy healthier M&M cookies are 100% whole grain, dairy-free and are made with coconut oil, coconut sugar and whole wheat or spelt flour.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) whole spelt flour or whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (168 grams) coconut oil
  • 1 cup (200 grams) raw sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 3/4 cups (260 grams) oats (I used half rolled and half quick oats)
  • 2/3 cup (200 grams) M&Ms (use Choco No No's for dairy-free)
  • 1/3 cup (57 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips (use dairy-free chocolate chips, if necessary)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl and set aside.
    1 1/2 cups (190 grams) whole spelt flour, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla and stir.
    3/4 cup (168 grams) coconut oil, 1 cup (200 grams) raw sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir just until combined. Stir in the oats, M&Ms, chocolate chips and stir until combined.
    2 3/4 cups (260 grams) oats, 2/3 cup (200 grams) M&Ms, 1/3 cup (57 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Form the dough into balls, about two tablespoons in size, and press the balls down into cookie shape. These don't spread very much so be sure to flatten them.
  • Bake for 9 - 12 minutes or until the middle appears to be set. The cookies will still appear very, very light, even when they're done.
