Ren-oaty Granoly Cookies

I decided to re-create a cookie I once had in Sonoma from a cute little coffee shop.  It was this fantastic oat-based cookie with honey and nuts and seeds.  It was filling and tasty, but not vegan.  So I thought I would try it at home with my modifications.  I’m very, very pleased with how they came out.  Please try this at home.

Servings: 24

Ingredients:

2 1/2 C old fashioned oats
1/2 C butter
1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 C brown rice syrup
1 t vanilla
1 T sesame seeds
1 T pumpkin seeds
1 T sunflower seeds
1 T shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 T ground chia (or flax) plus 3 T water
1/4 C cranberries

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl cream butter and sugar together, add brown rice syrup and vanilla until mixed well.

Add oats and salt.  Fold in pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, cranberries and coconut. Mix well.

Finally add the “chia egg” by mixing 1 T ground chia (or flax) with 3 T water.  Add to the mixture and stir completely.

Spoon mixture into well greased or non-stick mini-cupcake tins.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from oven and let cool completely or they may tear apart easily.

Ahhhh…delicious…
