I found this oat chip cookies recipe in one of my healthy cookbooks, amended it and have used it with great success.

 

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 2/3 C whole white wheat flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Half C butter, melted
  • 1/2 C light olive oil
  • 1/2 C ripe banana, well mashed
  • 1 1/2 C evaporated cane juice crystals or sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs (optional-makes cookies less crumbly and flatter)
  • 2 1/2 C rolled oats
  • 1 C raisins
  • one C pecans, chopped
  • 1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • During the holidays substitute dried cranberries, macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips for the last 3 ingredients. Dough can be refrigerated for several days or frozen to have on hand for quick batches.
  • 2 drops cinnamon essential oil (Optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine first four dry ingredients.

2. In a large glass measuring cup (or bowl) combine wet ingredients & sugar: mashed banana, melted butter, oil, vanilla extract, eggs and mix well.

3.  Add wet ingredients to dry ones. Mix well.

4. Combine last four ingredients in a different container and toss together making sure raisins (or cranberries) are separated.Then combine with main dough and mix well. This takes a some effort and the dough will seem a bit dry.

5. Preheat oven to 375° F.

6. Grease baking pan, or use parchment paper for best results. Pack dough with fingers into a tablespoon or small scoop (I usually use a Pampered Chef cookie scoop, small size to make a greater quantity),and place balls 2 inches apart, flattening them slightly.You don’t need eggs, but dough is more crumbly.

7. Bake cookies on upper or middle rack for 9-10 minutes or until lightly brown. They brown fast, so keep a good eye on them.

8. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

 

 

Notes

During the holidays, I make a double batch of these cookies and put them on small gift plates with my maple roasted nuts or in occasional big baskets.
