Time 17m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup traditional oatmeal (Not instant)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup organic dried cranberries
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
1/4 cup agave syrup
1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • These can be made with just a bowl and a spoon--overmixing will make them spongy, so start by mixing the dry ingredients together and then add syrups, oil, vanilla and cranberries.
  • Spoon onto lightly greased, parchment or silpat surface. Bake for 10 or less minutes, until just turning slightly brown on edges--cookies may seem a bit too soft, but they will firm up a bit while still maintaining a good soft moist texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook (or yes, they will be dry and hard)!

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 24m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups rolled oats (choose certified gluten-free oats if baking gluten-free)
1 cup dried cranberries (or dried fruit of choice)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 1/2 cups bananas, mashed, very ripe (about 3 medium)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oats, cranberries, and walnuts.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the banana, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until well blended.
  • Add banana mixture to oat mixture, stirring to combine. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets.
  • Bake 14 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool on sheets 1 minute.
  • Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days (or freeze in airtight bags/containers).

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries, and they hold their shape better when baking. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better when baking. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

These sugar-free cranberry walnut cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for the holidays. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, and dried cranberries, and they are sweetened with honey and maple syrup. These cookies are also gluten-free and vegan. If you are looking for a healthy and festive cookie recipe, these sugar-free cranberry walnut cookies are a great option.
