Susgrainable Cookies

There is no baked good more comforting to me than than a fresh baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. When they are packed with fibre and help to reduce food waste that's even more appealing!

These cookies are ooey gooey and made with beer. Well not beer per se, but with flour that is made from spent grain used in the beer making process! I first heard of spent grain at the Mt Pleasant @vanmarket in the summer and was instantly intrigued! The thought of a product that was created from food waste and was packed with nutrients seemed pretty incredible- and it really is! @susgrainable is the brand behind this intriguing product and has delicious cookies and baked goods available and is in the midst of creating breads! I purchased the flour and have used it in all sorts of creations. Remember it's not like normal flour and is much more dense, so it's important to consider this when making these cookies!

You can find @susgrainable products at retailers in Vancouver and online! Check them out!

1/4 cup butter/coconut oil

1 cup Susgrainable flour

2 cups rolled oats

2 tbsp nut butter

1 tsp baking powder + baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

2 tbsp Hemp Seeds

3 eggs

1 Very Ripe Banana

1 Tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 cup Chocolate Chips/crushed Chocolate Bar

1/2 cup milk (add this sparingly so to avoid overdoing it)

Optional: dried fruit like cranberries or raisins

Add all wet ingredients to your bowl and then slowly mix all dry ingredients in! Once the texture is thick but not too dry, mould into balls and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes or more depending on the size!
