Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
• 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil (softened)
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 2 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
• 2/3 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Combine coconut oil and butter in a large bowl and beat until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and continue beating until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix salt, baking soda, baking powder and flours together and add to the wet mixture in four parts. Gently stir in the oats and coconut with your hands or a wooden spoon to moisten all the ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.

To Freeze: Roll batter into a log (2-3 inches in diameter) and wrap in parchment paper, then saran wrap, then tin foil and freeze. Bake 1/2 inch thick slices of the batter on a lined or buttered baking sheet at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. If skipping the freezing phase, roll 1 tablespoon of the batter between your palms to form balls, place on baking sheet and press down to flatten slightly; bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until middle is just slightly wet. Take out of oven and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes. Enjoy!
