DID YOU KNOW?

Ginger is a power plant! It's loaded with antioxidants and packed with nutritional benefits including ginger, which is the compound found in ginger that has medicinal properties. Ginger is packed with the good stuff:

anti-inflammatory
fights oxidative stress

improves heart health
lowers cholesterol levels
reduces menstrual pain

These delicious cookies pair beautifully with my nourishing, comforting and creamy golden milk.

The perfect dunking biscuit!

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C.

2. Mix coconut sugar, chia seeds, oat flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt together. In a separate bowl add milk, chia seeds, vanilla and coconut oil. Mix wet and dry ingredients together.

3. Place in fridge for 10-15 minutes. I’ve also left the mixture overnight and it’s divine as cookie dough plus you can bake it the following day too!

4. Scoop about 1 tbsp to make little balls and place on baking paper on an oven tray. You can also use a silicon mat. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy!
