Oatmeal Cookies



About this recipe:
I am in love with oatmeal cookies. They are so easy and delicious, and you don't have to feel guilty when eating them. Have some of the oatmeal mixture on hand so there's hardly any prep involved. Perfect for instant cookie gratification!



Preheat the oven to 350F.

Ingredients:
• 1.5 c. Jazzy's oats mix 
• 1/2 c. baby quick oats
• 1/4 milk of your choice (I used almond milk)
• 1/2 green sour apple, finely grated
• 2 t. glycerine based vanilla flavoring
• 1/2 t. baking soda
• 1/4 c. coconut butter
• squeeze of maple syrup, agave nectar or stevia for sweetness

1. Melt the coconut butter using the double boil technique.
2. Combine milk, vanilla, baking soda and sweetener in a mixing bowl. Stir.
3. Divide the oats mix in two. Blend one half of the mix in a blender with an S blade into a fine powder.
4. Add the oats mix and the fine oats mix meal into the bowl, mixing it well with the liquid ingredients.
5. Add the grated apple and baby quick oats. Mix into a nice batter.
6. Drop tablespoons onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Flatten to a cookie with the back of a fork or spoon.
7. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes at 350F. For extra crisp, turn the oven to 450F for the last couple of minutes, careful not to burn them.
8. Cool on a cooling rack and enjoy!
