Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup gluten-free 1:1 all-purpose flour or white whole wheat flour*
- 2 TBS flaxseed meal optional
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/4 cup softened coconut oil
- 1/4 cup cashew or almond butter
- 2 TBS molasses
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup dried cherries roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper, or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In large bowl, using stand mixer with paddle attachment or electric hand mixer, cream together coconut sugar with softened coconut oil and nut/seed butter until creamy, about 1 minute (do NOT use melted oil).
- Add in molasses, egg, and vanilla. Beat on low-medium speed until combined
- Add dry oat-flour mixture to large bowl of wet ingredients. Use sturdy rubber spatula or large wooden spoon to combine. Fold in dried cherries using large wooden spoon.
- Using medium cookie scoop (or about 1 1/2 TBS), scoop dough balls and place on prepared cookie sheets. See picture in post of cookie sheet for how to space cookies.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cookies in airtight container. Cookies will stay fresh up to one week–if they last that long.
Notes
- FLOUR: You can sub in regular all-purpose, white whole wheat, or whole wheat pastry flour if you don't need these to be gluten free.
- Butter vs. Coconut Oil: You can also use softened plant based butter in place of coconut oil. Using butter will give these a little more flavor and a slightly crispier texture around the edges.
- Adding in a 1/2 cup of dairy-free mini chocolate chips would also be an excellent idea for this recipe
