Lupin and oat flours soak up moisture, and a thick peanut butter can make the dough seem crumbly. Start with the oat milk in the recipe and give the mixture a moment to hydrate before judging it; add a tiny extra splash only if it won't hold together when pressed.
Sides & SnacksLupin Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Lupin flour and oat flour make these peanut butter cookies thick and tender, while date syrup adds a mellow sweetness. The chocolate chips give each bite a little richness, and the cookies firm up as they cool.
Ingredients
Preparation Steps
Heat the oven
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper (or oil your baking tray and spread a bit of flour on it).
Combine the dry ingredients
Mix the lupin flour, oat flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl until evenly combined.
Make the cookie dough
Stir the peanut butter, date syrup, rapeseed oil and vanilla extract together, then add the dry ingredients. Mix in the oat milk gradually until the dough holds together and is thick, soft and slightly tacky rather than runny.
Add the chocolate
Fold the dark chocolate chips through the dough so they are distributed throughout.
Shape the cookies
Divide the dough into equal portions, roll them into rough balls and flatten them slightly on the tray. They will not spread much in the oven .
Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges look set and the tops are lightly coloured. Watch closely towards the end because date syrup can brown quickly; the centres should still feel a little soft.
Cool before serving
Leave the cookies on the baking tray for 10 minutes before moving them. They firm up as they cool, so avoid baking them until they feel hard.
Recipe insights
How to keep lupin cookies from turning dry
How date syrup changes the cookies
Date syrup gives these cookies a darker colour and a subtle caramel note. This batch uses less sweetener than a typical cookie dough, so expect a gently sweet, nutty blondie-style cookie rather than a very sweet bakery-style one. The trade-off is straightforward: as the cookie gets healthier, it becomes a little less good, not horrible, just a little less appealing than normal cookies. I know I'm not selling it correctly, just taste it, you'll find out.
At least my children loved it !
