\"\"<\/a>Lisa’s Good for You – Naturally!\u2122<\/em> Oatmeal Cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mix:
\n3\/4 c. extra-virgin\/raw organic coconut oil<\/strong> (OR 1\/4 c. oil AND 1\/2 c. real butter, unsalted)<\/p>\n

3\/4 c. raw unprocessed honey<\/strong>
\n 1 Tbl. blackstrap molasses<\/strong>
\n 1 tsp. real vanilla flavor<\/strong>
\nAdd: 1 beaten egg<\/strong> OR flax seed egg replacement (my eggs come from free-range chickens, of course \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

In a separate bowl (or mix together on top of the above, before mixing it IN with the above) – Mix:
\n3 c. rolled oats<\/strong> (I use organic, and thick cut makes a chewier cookie)
\n1 c. fresh whole wheat flour<\/strong> (fresh ground, preferably whole wheat pastry flour, but regular is fine too. I use a “white” wheat. You can use Spelt or Kamut instead if you avoid regular wheat.)
\n1\/2 tsp. baking soda<\/strong>
\n1\/2 tsp. baking powder <\/strong>(non-aluminum, like Rumford’s)
\n1 tsp. cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mix all together.<\/p>\n

Optional add-ins: 1\/2 cup carob chips<\/strong> OR 1\/2 cup raisins <\/strong>(you can soak the raisins first, if you want plumper raisins)<\/p>\n

Bake at 350\u00b0 for 10-12 minutes.<\/p>\n

Want a low\/no fat version? You could try applesauce instead of oil – but it’s been years since I’ve done this, so I don’t remember how they turned out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

UPDATE – NOTE: If your flour is pretty dry\/ you are in low humidity, you may need to add 1\/4 c. pure water to keep your cookies from being crumbly. \u00a0Adjust to your situation and climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
