Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/4 Cup Ground Flax Seed
- 1/2 Cup Quick Oats
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Applesauce
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
- 1/4 Cup Creamy Style Organic peanut Butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Dump ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl and stir.
You will really need to work at getting the ingredients mixed well. I do a downward smashing motion with my spoon as I stir. You could even put your hands into the dough and kneed a little.
Drop 1 tablespoon size mounds onto a greased cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Smash them down some with a fork. Then sprinkle with course sugar if you like. Place into oven and bake 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly golden.
After they are baked let them cool for 15 minutes before you dig in. They will be soft out of the oven and crisp up as they cool.
