Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan Salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup olive oil/coconut oil (you can use a blend, or one or the other)
  • 3 TBSP ground flax meal See notes
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups regular rolled oats
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup walnut pieces

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°
  2. In a small dish, mix the 3 TBSP of flax meal with 9 TBSP (1/2 cup + 1 TBSP) of water. Stir and let sit. This is your egg substitute. Set aside for later.
  3. In a mixer, mix all the ingredients together except the raisins, walnuts and flax
  4. Add in the flax mixture until well incorporated
  5. Stir in the raisins and walnuts
  6. Roll the batter into generous TBSP sized balls. (I keep them uniform by measuring them with my fingers when I make the 'okay' gesture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 13 minutes. Remove from oven, and 'smash' or press the cookies gently with the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. Return to oven to bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until very lightly golden.
  8. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before eating
  9. Store cookies when still slightly warm, to keep them moist. Store in fridge for 3-5 days.

Notes

I have not tried these cookies with eggs instead of flax, however if you do not have flax meal you can certainly try to use 3 eggs instead. Leave a comment below with your results!
