I found these little nuggets of deliciousness on a fantastic new food blog I just discovered, www.loveandlemons.com. The cookies were modified from this recipe. I accidently wrote down the recipe wrong and forgot about the coconut oil, which would have been a good addition, as well as a little coconut... I was also too lazy to shred the carrots, so I left those out. :) However, the good news is that these cookies have no butter or oil, and they're still very tasty (chocolate chips make all cookies good in my opinion :)).
oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
Recipe:
1/2 c. almond flour *
1/2 c. oat flour *
1 c. rolled oats
2 T ground flax seed
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c. bittersweet chocolate chips
1/3 c. walnuts
1/2 c. dried plums, chopped (or any other dried fruit)
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/4 c. maple syrup
1 egg
3 T plain or vanilla yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
Combine all ingredients. Bake on greased cookie sheet for 9-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
* I used almond meal instead of almond flour, which is much cheaper and works fine - I found mine at Trader Joe's. For oat flour, I ground up instant oats in my coffee grinder.
I made these today, Heather! I actually made a combo of your version and the original version. I did use oil...canola, actually, but substituted ground flax for some of it. I used cranberries, raisins, choc. chips, crushed almonds...they were amazing. Thanks for the idea! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I used all the carrot, too, and they were still super good;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you made them Molly and thanks for the details on what you put in them - I will definitely have to use carrot next time. :)
