whole wheat oat cookies / cinnamon maple oat cookies

Image

I hate to claim that a cookie is healthy but this is definitely one of the healthier cookie recipes that I’ve come across; and for a cookie not loaded with butter or too much sugar, it is pretty tasty. The original recipe called for white sugar and canola oil, so it is fine to substitute with whatever you have on hand. I used olive oil and raw sugar; I tend to steer clear of white sugar if I can help it. Anyhow, it’s very hard to stop at one. Variation, made by my friend, is posted below!

This recipe makes around 20 medium sized cookies.

INGREDIENTS

1 large egg

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/3 cup raw sugar

1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 cup rolled oats

METHOD

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Mix all wet ingredients with the sugar and beat together.

Add all remaining ingredients and stir well. Roll small balls of the batter and place onto trays lined with baking paper.

Ensure all the balls are flattened. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.


VARIATION

  • Replace sugar with 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • Add 1 cup rolled oats instead of 3/4 cup
  • Add 1 tbs cinnamon

    • I missed the second recipe – might have to give it a try! I love them because of how versatile the recipe is. I’m going to make them again, probably omitting the sugar and adding some fruit and nuts! Thanks for stopping by x
