OATMEAL, WALNUT AND DRIED PLUM COOKIES



Oatmeal, Walnut and Dried Plum Cookies image

Recipe from The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone My friend Kristina Brindley is a wonderful vegan caterer who does home delivery. Her vittles are so delicious, I order from her almost every week. I think it's safe to say she is quite possibly the greatest dessert-maker to ever walk the earth-her desserts are insane! I'm not usually a big fan of oatmeal cookies, but I'm obsessed with these. (My mom, an oatmeal cookie connoisseur, just can't get enough.)

Time 35m

Yield 10-12 cookies, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup maple sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup safflower oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon molasses
1/4 cup chopped dried plum (or other dried fruit)
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the syrup, oil, vanilla extract, and molasses. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Fold in the dried plums and nuts.
  • Using your hands, roll tablespoon-size scoops of dough into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and press down slightly on the balls to flatten the tops. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a baking rack to cool completely.
  • For variety, replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour, barley flour, spelt flour, or a gluten-free baking mix (choose one that does not include baking soda and baking powder). You can also substitute chocolate chips for the dried fruit and any kind of nuts for the walnuts.

HEALTHY OATMEAL DATE WALNUT COOKIES



Healthy Oatmeal Date Walnut Cookies image

This is a variation of a cookie recipe I love, just to give credit where credit is due... The Kind Diet's Oatmeal, Walnut and Dried Plum cookies. They are delicious but a lot of sugar so I tried another version and I think they are just as yummy!

Time 25m

Yield 26 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup raw sugar
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup chopped dates
1/4 cup plain soymilk
1/4 cup canola oil
4 ounces natural applesauce, single serving cup
2 teaspoons molasses
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (or 325 convection oven). Line 3 cookies sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix all dry ingredients.
  • Wisk together wet ingredients.
  • Fold in dry to wet and stir until moist. If batter is too dry add a little more applesauce.
  • Use small ice cream scoop to make cookies.
  • Bake 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to baking rack and cool.
  • I throw them into a ziploc bag and just grab 2 out of the freezer whenever the mood hits me. I use them for the kids lunches too and they love them!
  • VARIATION: I basically make the same recipe but with dairy free chocolate chips instead of walnuts and omit molasses and maple syrup. We live on those! I love stocking up the freezer on Sundays. :).
