Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (a pinch more depending on the moisture of the mix)
  • 1 1/2 cups oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (I actually use about 3 Tbsp(got to love cinnamon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup oil, you can also use some applesauce to replace some of the oil if you wish (corn, grapeseed or olive)
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 egg (beat with 1 Tbsp Water)
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Method

  • In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
  • In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
  • Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
  • COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.
  • Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy.
