- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup cane sugar
- ½ teaspoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- ⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup shredded coconut unsweetened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place coconut oil in a large mixing bowl, microwave in 10 second intervals until melted. Then add the brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, vanilla and room temperature oat milk and whisk for about 1 minute until well combined.
- Add in the oats, gluten free flour, baking soda and salt and use a spatula to fold the mixture together.
- Add in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut and fold into the dough with a spoon or spatula.
- Using a cookie scoop or a large spoon scoop out 1.5-2 tablespoons and roll into balls, place on the lined baking sheet. Repeat until the dough is gone.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Notes
Room temperature oat milk: Make sure the plant milk is room temperature, if you mix cold milk with melted coconut oil it will make the coconut oil harden.
Plant milk: Any plant milk will work fine in this recipe
Coconut oil: Normally I would recommend refined coconut oil in baking so there isn’t a coconut taste but in this case I used cold pressed oil because the coconut flavor hint is welcome in these cookies. Use whichever you have on hand. Coconut oil is usually solid at room temperature so to measure the coconut oil I like to measure it out solid, melt it in 10 second intervals in the microwave and then measure it again, you may need another 1-2 spoonfuls. If you melted too much that’s ok just pour it back into the jar and it will re solidify.
