Introduction

These came out really tasty, and they freeze well. I think the coconut oil is the key to how good they are, so don't substitute. I used date sugar so the only sweetener comes from fruit.

Ingredients

    4 tbsp smart balance light spread
    2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
    1/2 cup date sugar
    1 egg
    3 teaspoons vanilla
    3/4 cup oat flour (grind oats in processor)

    1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    1 tsp cinnamon
    3/4 cup rolled oats
    1/4 cup chopped walnuts
    1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries (soaked in warm water)



Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Beat butter and coconut oil together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add date sugar and beat well. Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Gradually add flour mixture, then stir in oats, drained raisins, and walnuts.

Take a heaping teaspoon of dough and roll into ball, then place onto lightly greased cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Flatten to cookie shape with palm or back of spoon. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
