I had a hankering for something sweet the other night. Usually when that happens my go-to cookie recipe is a quick and easy one from a children's cookbook for chocolate chip. However, I wanted a bit healthier option.
I just decided to start throwing ingredients in a bowl and see how it turned out. The results were delicious! Here's the recipe I came up with.
Lemon Almond Oat Bran Cookies
Ingredients:
Canola Oil 3/4 cup
Brown sugar 3/4 cup
1 egg
All purpose flour 1 cup
Toasted oat bran 1 cup
Baking powder 1 1/4 tsp.
Lemon extract 1 cap full
Sliced almonds for topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Pour canola oil (can use butter, shortening or coconut oil as well) and sugar into bowl and mix together.
2. Add the egg and mix again until blended together.
3. Sift the flour and the baking powder into the bowl and mix until about half blended together.
4. Add the toasted oat bran and mix well.
5. Add the cap full of lemon extract and mix together until smooth.
6. Drop by teaspoon full onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
7. Sprinkle a few sliced almonds in the middle of each cookie.
8. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.
Makes about 16 cookies
