Healthy Oatmeal Cookies

Image
This is my new favorite Oatmeal cookie recipe! 1/2 c. pure coconut oil 3/4 c. raw agave nectar (or a little less - you can use part honey if you wish) 2 extra large eggs 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour 1 3/4 c. oats (not quick cooking) 1/4 c. flax seed (ground in coffee grinder) 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt Preheat oven to 325 degrees, and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray with a non-stick spray. Beat the coconut oil with the agave nectar until well blended and slightly fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Add flour, oats, flax, cinnamon, soda, and salt and combine. Drop onto cookie sheets by heaping tablespoons and flatten out slightly. Bake for about 12 minutes until the bottoms are slightly browned and tops are dry. Don't over bake.
