Honey Whole Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Smash Cookies
An easy and fun take on healthier oatmeal raisin cookies, your kids will love to help 'smash' them with a measuring cup!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan Salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup olive oil/coconut oil (you can use a blend, or one or the other)
- 3 TBSP ground flax meal See notes
- 1 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups regular rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup walnut pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°
- In a small dish, mix the 3 TBSP of flax meal with 9 TBSP (1/2 cup + 1 TBSP) of water. Stir and let sit. This is your egg substitute. Set aside for later.
- In a mixer, mix all the ingredients together except the raisins, walnuts and flax
- Add in the flax mixture until well incorporated
- Stir in the raisins and walnuts
- Roll the batter into generous TBSP sized balls. (I keep them uniform by measuring them with my fingers when I make the 'okay' gesture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13 minutes. Remove from oven, and 'smash' or press the cookies gently with the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. Return to oven to bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until very lightly golden.
- Let cool for 3-5 minutes before eating
- Store cookies when still slightly warm, to keep them moist. Store in fridge for 3-5 days.
Notes
I have not tried these cookies with eggs instead of flax, however if you do not have flax meal you can certainly try to use 3 eggs instead. Leave a comment below with your results!
