Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 5 tbsp hot water
  • 2 cups rolled oats (*if gluten free, use certified gluten free variety)
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Prepare flax mixture by mixing the 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed with the 5 tablespoons of hot water. Set aside for 5-10 minutes. (It will thicken in texture after sitting for a few minutes).
  • Meanwhile, add all remaining ingredients to a large bowl, then add the flax mixture when it's ready. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Using a 1/8 cup measuring cup (or cookie scoop), scoop the cookie mixture out and onto the baking sheet. You should end up with about 18 cookies. Flatten down each one a bit, forming a thick, round cookie shape (about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick).
  • Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until edges start to brown and bottoms are crisp (the centers will stay a little chewy). Let cool on the baking sheet and enjoy.

Notes

  • Keep in mind these don’t spread while baking, so you want to shape them appropriately.  If they are too thick they won't be the right texture, and if they're too thin, they will not stay together upon cooling.
