Soak flax seeds in water for about 45 minutes or until jelly like.




Combine all the dry ingredients, ( baking soda, baking powder, salt, flour, cinnamon) and set aside. Beat together the coconut oil and peanut butter. Stir in soaked flax seed mixture. Add the brown sugar, agave and vanilla.

Combine this with the dry ingredients. Add almond milk and thoroughly combine. Roll into balls and use a potato masher to make a pattern on top.
