(see original recipe here)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups regular oats, divided
- 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup Sucanat (or brown sugar)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 3.5 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup dried cranberries
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, 1 cup oats, cinnamon, and Sucanat (or brown sugar). Place dry ingredients in a food processor* and process for about 20-30 seconds until mixed. In a small bowl add the coconut oil and microwave for 20 seconds to soften (if necessary). In the same bowl, stir in the maple syrup**, almond milk, and vanilla, and pour into food processor. Process until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Remove bowl from processor and dump contents into a large bowl. Mix in the remaining 1 cup of oats by stirring or with hands. Fold in the 2/3 cup of cranberries. Take about 2 tbsp of dough, make a ball, and then flatten with fingers. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat.
Bake for 10 minutes and no longer. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet*** for 2 minutes before placing onto a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes. Makes about 16 cookies. Delicious!
You could make all kinds of adaptations to this- use different flour or dried fruit, add chocolate, nuts.... The possibilities are endless but remember that adding certain items will change whether it's vegan or not.
* I don't have a food processor so I just mixed it all by hand. The dough seemed crumbly at first but the baked cookies weren't crumbly at all.
**I used the real deal, not pancake syrup but didn't have quite 1/2 a cup so I topped it off with some honey (Which IS NOT VEGAN). The cookies did not have a maple flavor at all.
*** This is KEY. If you take them off right out of the oven they will fall apart.
