Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons brewer’s yeast
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (or chia seeds)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Sheets: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, brewer’s yeast, ground flaxseed, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the whisked dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined (about 1 minute). Do not overmix.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and chocolate chunks with a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring 2 inches of space between each. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. If dough is spreading, chill for 15 minutes before baking.
- Cool Completely: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If the dough is too sticky or cookies spread too much, chill the dough for 15-30 minutes before baking. Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies.
