Made up a new cookie recipe today, or rather adapated it from some favorites. It is full of seeds and grains and lot's of omega's and of course some chocolate! I consider them quite healthy and you could sub whole wheat for the white flour so quite easily!

Chocolate Chips Chewies

2 cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 Cup flour
2 Tbsp chia seeds
2 Tbsp Sunflower seed
3 Tbsp Flax Seeds
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 cup unsweetened medium shred coconut and 1/2 cups large shavings.
3/4 Cup applesauce (mind was bad so I subbed 2 eggs and a couple Tbsp soy milk)
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oats, brown sugar, flour, seeds, baking soda, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips in a large bowl. Add applesauce, olive oil and vanilla extract and mix well. Form into golf ball sized balls and place on a piece of parchment paper. Bake 11-12 minutes. Allow to cool fully before removing from cookie sheets.
