-
In a bowl combine the ground flaxseed with the flour you just made and the remaining rolled oats. Add the coconut, salt, cinnamon and brewer’s yeast and mix.
-
In a food processor or blender process the dates and water till they form a paste. Then add the nut butter, olive oil, vanilla, and pulse.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry plus the honey and mix with a spoon until they are well combined.

Bake the cookies for 16 mins. Take them out of the oven and leave to cool.
