Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Raisins or chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and the egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough just comes together.
Fold in the raisins or chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Using the back of a spoon or your hand, gently press each ball down into a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
