Seed Cookies
Makes 10 cookies
- 180g of Gluten Free Oats
- 150g of Mixed Seeds- Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame etc
- 1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
- 75g of Coconut Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons of Water
- 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoon of Nut Butter
- 100ml of Melted Coconut Oil
These are full of seedy goodness, fibre and omega 3s and are super simple and quick to make. They keep really well in an airtight container for up to a week, so they’re ideal for making ahead of time to get you through a busy week.
Preheat the oven to 180’C.
Add the oats to your food processor and blend on high until you have a fine flour. Add it to a large bowl with all of the seeds and the baking powder and mix well.
Add the coconut sugar, water, nut butter and vanilla to a small saucepan on medium heat and heat it until the coconut sugar has dissolved and you have smooth mixture.
Pour the sweet mixture into the dry ingredients, along with the melted coconut oil. Mix well.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Shape the mixture into balls and then press them into a cookie shape on the tray. Bake at 180’C for about 13 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool and crisp on a wire rack.

Would peanut butter work with this recipe?
Yes it would- you can use any nut butter (I’m allergic to peanuts so I never mention it!)x
Thanks x
Can you substitute honey for the coconut sugar and if so how much? Thanks
Hi Eibhlis, for this one it needs to be coconut sugar- it’s for the texture not just sweetness x
Looks lovely! Are they suitable for freezing?
I haven’t tried freezing these ones but it should work well x
Can you substitute the nut butter? Extra coconut oil? My son has a nut allergy but would love to try these.
You can use sunflower seed butter instead. Hope he loves them!x
I made these today they are divine although it was hard not to eat the wet mixture before it was all mixed!! I ran out of coconut sugar so I used the biona apple puree instead and it worked great I kept the quantity the same.
Great idea! I’m the same with the raw mixture, so yum!x
Hi Indy, do you recommend freezing raw mixture or cooked? Made them today. They were a little crumbly but I added sugar to liquid mixture which maybe isn’t right. They taste so fab!! The kids loved making them.
So glad your kids liked them! I would freeze them raw- shape the mixture into balls or a cylinder shape x
Any idea of calorie content for this recipe??
I don’t count calories sorry Edel x
These are fab! I made them with peanut butter and I am loving them.
So glad you love them Niamh!x
Could I leave out the sugar to make these more of a savoury cracker? Maybe add a pinch of salt instead…?
I haven’t tried it but I don’t think they would bind, you would need to experiment with the amounts of all the other ingredients too. Hope they work out for you!x
Hi Im wondering what the calorie count is per cookie please
I don’t track calories so I don’t have that information for my recipes, sorry about that x
