These are hands down the most delicious and nutritious cookies I have ever come across. They are actually vegan (no eggs or dairy) and use two healthy sweeteners, agave and maple syrup. They are really fantastic. The recipe was passed onto me at our lake this summer so unfortunately the original source at this point remains a mystery. Enjoy!
–————————–
2 1/4 cups organic oat flakes
2 cups spelt flour or whole wheat flour (spelt is often nutritionally superior to whole wheat as it enhances your immune functioning but using whole wheat is fine. Try and use unrefined whole wheat flour which has undergone less processing).
1/4 cup ground flax seed. Great source of omega-3
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup pumpkin seed. High in zinc, vitamin E, protein and minerals
1 cup sunflower seeds. Also great source of vitamin E, minerals and antioxidants.
1 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or carob chips)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut. Use unsulphured.
1 1/4 cup dried cranberries
——
3/4 cup canola oil
1 cup soy milk, almond milk or plain milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup agave (sweetener which does not cause spike in blood sugar)
3/4 cup maple syrup. Good source of minerals.
Mix wet ingredients together, stir in dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Spoon onto greased cookie sheets (they will seem quite runny). Bake at 350 degrees for 22-24 minutes. Check them after 20 minutes depending on the size you make.
Hope your family loves them as much as mine does!
