Time 17m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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)!

Time 24m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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 ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your cookies will be. If your bananas aren't ripe enough, you can bake them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they're soft and brown.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them set quickly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so it's important to let them cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

These vegan oatmeal cranberry cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They're made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are sweetened with natural sugars from the bananas and cranberries. These cookies are also gluten-free and dairy-free, making them a great option for people with food allergies or sensitivities.
