Serves: 15-20
Ingredients
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp instant oats*
  • ¾ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted or olive oil**
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup finely diced apple***
Instructions
  1. Mix together oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk oil, egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and honey.
  3. Stir dry ingredients into wet until just incorporated. Fold in cranberries and apples.
  4. Chill dough for 30 minutes to 24 hours.****
  5. Before removing dough from fridge, preheat oven to 325°F. Line/grease a baking sheet.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough onto sheet (you may have to pack the dough together a bit in your hands). Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 13-15 minutes.
  7. Cool on pan for 10 minutes before removing. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
* Rolled oats give a chewier texture. I prefer the instant oats.
** Both oils work fine, although coconut added a note of sweetness.
*** I used Granny Smith, although your favorite apple will do.
**** Admittedly, 24 hours is a guess. Nothing should go wrong, although the longest I have chilled this for is 3½ hours.
