Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins, or other dried fruit
  • 1/2 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) or other seeds/nuts
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large mashed banana or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 3 tablespoons coconut nectar/syrup, honey, or other liquid sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk or other milk of choice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in the mashed banana, coconut oil, coconut nectar, and almond milk until well blended.
  4. Let the mixture rest for 4-5 minutes for the chia and flax to bind – it should resemble a thicker dough.
  5. If the dough gets too thick, stir in an additional 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
Baking
  1. Scoop out the dough using a scant 1/4 cup, place on a lined baking sheet, and gently flatten.
  2. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  3. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Notes

For softer cookies, reduce bake time by a couple of minutes. Experiment with different dried fruits or nuts for fun variations. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh!
