Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in the raisins or dried cranberries and chopped nuts, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
