Ingredients

  • Oats- 1 ½ cups.
  • Whole Wheat Pastry Flour– 1 cup.
  • Baking Soda– 1 teaspoon.
  • Ground Cinnamon– 1 teaspoon.
  • Canola Oil– ½ cup.
  • Sugar– ¾ cup.
  • Egg-1.
  • Vanilla Extract– 1 teaspoon.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and prep your cookie sheets for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine together the oats, flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat together the oil and the sugar until creamy.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the ingredients in the second bowl. I like to do this by adding half of the ingredients, stirring gently, and then add the remaining. Lastly, stir in the egg and the vanilla extract.
  • For a flatter cookie you can flatten the cookies on the baking sheet before baking. Otherwise, use a scoop or spoon and place the cookies far enough apart for spreading.
  • Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes or until they begin to brown (longer for a more crisp cookie). Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Recipe Notes

I mentioned that you can choose what kind of oats you would like to use in this recipe.
Quick oats will help make this a more crisp and less chewy cookie.
However, using old fashion rolled oats will make this cookie more of a chewy cookie (which may people prefer and expect from any oatmeal cookie).
Also mentioned was that this recipe calls for sugar.
Feel free to use a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar and can be baked with (your cookies may not turn out as crisp however). Other options include a two thirds of a cup of honey or maple syrup (you may need to make adjustments in your dry ingredients).
