Ingredients

¼ cup water

2 tbsp ground flax seeds

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

4 tbsp brewer’s yeast

1 cup butter, room temp.

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups old-fashioned oats

1 ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Add flax seeds to water. Set aside and let soak at least 5 minutes

2. To large bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt, and brewer’s yeast. Mix well and set aside
