- Serves:

ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (a pinch more depending on the moisture of the mix)
- 1 1⁄2 cups oats
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (I actually use about 3 Tbsp(got to love cinnamon)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 3⁄4 cup honey
- 1⁄2 cup oil, you can also use some applesauce to replace some of the oil if you wish (corn, grapeseed or olive)
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 egg (beat with 1 Tbsp Water)
- 3 teaspoons vanilla
- 1⁄2 cup raisins (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup walnuts (optional)
directions
- In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
- In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
- Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
- COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.
- Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy.
