Chai Spiced Oatmeal Cookies (vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free)

0 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
1 In a medium bowl, make the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water. Stir and set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
2 In a large bowl, add the oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk to combine.
3 In the bowl with the flax egg, add the vanilla, melted coconut oil, and pure maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.
4 Add the wet to the dry. Stir with a spatula until combined. Fold in chopped walnuts. Use a cookie scoop (mine was 1.5 Tbsp) and scoop dough onto the baking sheet. Flatten tops slightly and bake for 13-15 minutes. Let it cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
