Healthy home made oatmeal craisin breakfast cookies! I made up this recipe while I was in my first year of college and these made great healthy morning snacks. This makes around 16 cookies. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon granulated sugar |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 large egg |
9 tablespoons flax seed meal |
1/3 cup hot water |
1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
3/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries |
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. -Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit (or 375 for crispy outer edges on cookies).
2. -Pour the hot or very warm water and oat meal into a cup or small bowl. Set aside. You do not have to mix it- some of the oat meal will not be softened by the water. This step will give a smoother texture to the cookies.
3. -Whisk brown and white sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, grape seed oil or extra virgin olive oil, egg, and flax seed meal in a bowl.
4. -Mix while pouring in the cranberries, sweetened shredded coconut, and quick cooking outs. Once the mixture looks more even, gradually add the flour while continually stirring.
5. -Place large rounded tablespoonfuls of batter onto baking parchment paper or greased baking pan (batter should be gooey, sticky, thick) 1 inch apart.
6. -Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until lightly brown.
