Lately I've been interested in a clean diet. The most basic rule is to cut out anything white- refined sugar and flour, for example. This can be difficult to do when you love baked goods as much as I do.
I wanted to make clean cookies, but couldn't resist adding chocolate chips, hence the "(Almost Clean)" in the title.
MAKES ABOUT 30 COOKIES
INGREDIENTS
3 c uncooked rolled oats
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
3/4 c maple syrup
1/2 c canola oil
1/2 t vanilla extract
2 T ground flaxseed
1 c applesauce or 1 medium banana
3/4 c cranberries (optional)
3/4 c dark chocolate chips (this was my cheater ingredient)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl (make sure banana is mixed in well and that there are no chunks). Place rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
