Equipment

1 Small Cookie Scoop
1 Cookie Sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup SunButter creamy
  • cup coconut sugar or light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon coconut oil melted and cooled, sub. melted butter
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup oat flour
  • 1 cup oats quick cooking
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup mini M&Ms

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, SunButter, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
    2 eggs, ½ cup SunButter, ⅔ cup coconut sugar, 3 tablespoon coconut oil, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Add the oat flour, quick oats, baking soda, and sea salt to the bowl and gently fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
    ⅔ cup oat flour, 1 cup oats, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • Fold the M&Ms into the batter gently.
    ½ cup mini M&Ms
  • Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the batter into balls on a cookie sheet at least 2 inches a part. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7 - 9 minutes until the edges are browned.
  • If needed, I like to push the cookies into a more circular shape with a fork right out of the oven while they’re still warm.
  • Top the cookies with sea salt while warm and allow them to cool slightly before enjoying!

Notes

Storage : Store cooled healthier monster cookies in an airtight container or cookie jar with a lid. They will keep fresh at room temperature for up to one week. 
You can also freeze the dough before baking. To do so, arrange the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet, and freeze for a few hours or until solid. Then, transfer them to a sealable bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. To eat, thaw the dough in the fridge or at room temperature, and bake as normal.
