Method :
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside

Add in the eggs one at a time while beating
Add in the baking powder, cinnamon, salt and vanilla extract. Continue beating
Add flour and mix in, beat until flour is corporate, do not over-beat (this will make you cookie dough tough and make it more of a bread consistency)
Add in the oats and coconut flakes and mix well with a spatula or spoon
Using a small ice-cream scoop or 2 spoons divide the batter on the cookie sheet, make sure to put them apart from each-other because they will spread as they bake
