1.5 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tablespoon Chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut oil room temperature & unmelted (I use Tropical Traditions brand.)
1/2 cup Stevia baking blend brown sugar would also work
3/4 cup peanut butter or other nutbutter
2 eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips I use Enjoy Life brand.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine oats, flour, baking powder and Chia seeds in a medium bowl and set aside.
Add coconut oil, Stevia, peanut butter, eggs and vanilla to a mixing bowl and beat ingredients together using an electric mixer.
Gradually add oat mixture to wet mixture and stir together with the electric mixer. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spoon about 1.5 tbsp of dough onto baking sheet that has been prepared with parchment paper or natural cooking spray. I like a flatter cookie, so I used my hands to flatten dough and shape it in to a circle. These cookies will not spread, so you can set them on the baking sheet close to another cookie.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a couple of minutes.

I used a cinnamon flavored peanut butter, but feel free to use any type you'd like, any nut and any flavor.
