For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of cocoa nibs. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and nutrients.

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). (5 minutes)
In a small bowl, combine water and ground flaxseed. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to create a flax egg. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, cream together coconut oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. (3 minutes)
Beat in one egg until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg, flaxseed mixture, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. (2 minutes)
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, brewer's yeast, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a dough. (5 minutes)
Gently fold in the rolled oats and cocoa nibs until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (3 minutes)
Roll the dough into small, even-sized balls and place them on ungreased baking sheets. Slightly flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand. (10 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (10-12 minutes)
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

Jun 10, 2025I halved the sugar as suggested and they were still perfectly sweet. The cocoa nibs add a nice touch of bitterness.
