This fabulous {Matcha} Green Tea recipe was created by my Vegan blogger friend Carolyn.

I made these cookie prior to a strenuous weekend of performances and they literally ‘powered’ me through all my rehearsing, teaching and performing.

{Matcha} Green Tea Power Cookies

DRY INGREDIENTS

-1/4 cup ground flax seeds + 3/4 cup water

-1 1/2 cup flour (all-purpose, oat, almond, or cashew)

– 1 cup rolled oats

– 1 Tbsp Matcha

– 1/2 tsp of baking powder & baking soda

– 1 tsp cinnamon & salt

– 1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds

– 1/4 cup raisins

-1/4 cup sunflower seeds

– 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (I used a vegan, naturally sweetened chocolate bar and chopped it up but any chocolate chips would be fine!)

– 1/3 cup coconut oil (not melted)

– 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce

– 3/4 cup agave

– 1/4 cup almond milk

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Mix the flax and water in a small cup and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This allows the flax to become like a eggy glue (in a yummy way).
Mix all dry ingredients (flours, almond meal, oats, Matcha, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt) in a large bowl. Once well mixed stir in the pumpkin seeds, raisins, sunflower seeds and chocolate.
Mix all wet ingredients (coconut oil, flax+water mixture, apple sauce, agave and almond milk) separately in a medium bowl.
Pour wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to combine.
Place a heaping tablespoons of the dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. I made 45 two-bit cookies.
