Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brewers' yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 cup cocoa nibs, or more to taste

Method

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Mix water and flaxseed together in a bowl; soak 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat coconut oil, white sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into the butter until completely blended. Add vanilla with the second egg and beat until smooth.
  • Stir flour, brewer's yeast, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to the large bowl and mix until just incorporated into the coconut oil mixture forming a dough. Fold oats and cocoa nibs into the dough; roll into small balls, arrange onto baking sheets, and flatten slightly.
  • Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
