Ingredients
1/2 cup whole wheat flour 3/4 cup oat flour 1/3 cup canola oil2/3 cup raw (turbinado) sugar1/4 cup water1/3 (heaping) cup of unsweetened applesauce or pear sauce** 2 tsp. baking soda6 T. almond milk (I used Almond Breeze original)2 tsp. pure (real) vanilla extract***1/2 tsp. nutmeg1/2 tsp. allspice1 (heaping) T. of ground flax1/3 cup wheat germ2/3 cup rolled oats2/3 cup raisins****
1.) Preheat oven at 350. Mix together flours, wheat germ, ground flax, spices, and baking soda.
2.) In a separate bowl beat together oil, pear sauce, sugar, almond milk, and vanilla.
3.) Add liquid mixture to flour mixture. Then stir in oats and raisins.
4.) Spoon onto cookie sheets and bake at 350 for about 15 min. Time may vary depending on oven. Let cool 5 min and enjoy. Tip: I lined my cookie sheets with parchment paper which makes for virtually no cookie sheet clean up. (!)
Makes 42 cookies (or at least it did for me; they’re pretty small).
*I used whole wheat bread flour because it’s all we had—not sure if that matters…
**The recipe calls for applesauce but I didn’t have any so I just mashed some stewed (unsweetened and peeled) pears and drained them by placing a coffee filter over a glass. Wah-la! Aren’t I clever?
***I left this out because all I had was that imitation junk. Definitely use it if you have it though.
****I would add the full 1 cup next time. I was a little leery of that many raisins but I think they needed them. You could also substitute dried cranberries, cherries, or even chopped prunes. You could also try adding some chopped nuts.
I thought these tasted kind of biscuity but my mom loved them. Or at least she said she did. Maybe she was just trying to make me feel good? I liked them, don’t get me wrong, they just weren’t phenomenal. My brother was honest and said they tasty like "health cookies".
Tip for measuring flour: For any type of flour, but especially whole grain flour (it’s denser) it is a good idea to scoop out the desired portion with a spoon into your measuring cup instead of just scooping directly with the measuring cup. This way, the flour won’t get packed down and the measurement will be more accurate.
