Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• 
  
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use avocado oil)
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 
  
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chunks (70% cacao is best)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt & cinnamon in a bowl or on wax paper. Set aside.
4. With electric mixer on medium-high, beat oil, sugar, egg & vanilla in a bowl for 1 minute.
5. On low speed, stir in the oat mixture, followed by chocolate chunks.
6. With wet hands or using a scoop, shape into 2-inch balls and place onto a wax paper-covered cutting board or freezer-safe plate. Freeze for 15 minutes.
7. Place cold dough balls on the baking sheet, reshaping them to a round shape if they have flattened. (Do not press down before baking)
8. Bake about 12-14 minutes until edges are golden.
