Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups oat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 cups pitted dates
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups raisins
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together the first 4 dry ingredients in a bowl. Put the applesauce, dates, eggs and vanilla in high powered blender (I use my Ninja) and blend until creamy. Add in the first 4 ingredients from the bowl to the blender and blend until just mixed evenly. Transfer the mixture back to the bowl and mix in by hand the oats and raisins. Take a large cookie sheet and cover with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture and drop on to cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Makes about 36 cookies. Once all dollops of cookie mixture are on the baking sheet, flatten cookies with a lifter or fork and then bake for 13 to 18 minutes or until done. Remove from oven. Let sit on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack for cooling. Enjoy! By Carol Johns.
