Easy Easter Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 Cup oat flour i.e. finely ground oats
- 1 ½ Cups rolled oats
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- ½ Cup oil
- ½ Cup sugar - or granulated sweetener of choice
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
- 1 ½ Teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1 Cup easter trail mix or candy of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients except the candy and set aside
- In a large bowl combine the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix thoroughly until no flour patches remain. Fold in candy
- Cover the bowl and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes until the dough becomes firm. If necessary let thaw at room temperature until it’s soft enough to scoop, but still firm and chilled. If not chilled the dough can be crumbly and fall apart.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, evenly spaced about one to two inches apart. Cookies won’t spread that much.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes until just slightly golden around the edges and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes. This will allow them to firm up a bit.
- After 10 minutes remove cookies from the cookie and transfer directly onto a cooling rack to cool completely before storing
- Once cooled enjoy!
