Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Whisk the chia and ⅓ cup (80ml) water in a small bowl until combined. Set aside, stirring occasionally, for 15 mins or until thick.
Step 2
Combine the flour, oats, coconut, sugar and pepitas in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Stir in the butter and chia mixture and use your fingertips to combine. Stir in the chocolate.
Step 3
Roll 2-tsp portions of the oat mixture into balls. Place on the lined trays and flatten slightly. Bake for 10 mins or until cookies are light golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with the melted chocolate.
