Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the egg until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick dough forms.
Step 5
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough at a time and roll into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form a cookie shape.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
