Ingredients

5 tablespoons SunButter No Sugar Added
5 tablespoons raw honey sub maple syrup or date syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil melted (or avocado oil)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice *prevents reaction between SunButter and baking soda, omitting will cause the cookies to develop a tasteless and harmless green color
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups gluten free sprouted oats *1 cup blended into flour
1/2 cup raisins organic strongly recommended

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper. Blend 1 cup of oats into an oat flour and set aside.
Into a large mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients (coconut oil, SunButter, maple syrup, flax meal, lemon juice, cinnamon, baking soda and sea salt). Mix to combine well.
Add the dry ingredients (oatmeal and oat flour). Stir until just combined.
Add raisins, and fold in until incorporated into the cookie dough.
Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking trays using a 1 tablespoon scoop. Slightly flatten the cookie dough balls (they won’t spread very much). Leave space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, until lightly golden brown around the edges. Allow cookies to fully cool before removing them from the baking sheet.
Once cookies have fully cooled, store in an air tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Cookies are delicious right out of the freezer and do not need to be defrosted!
