Ingredients (24 cookies)

• 7 tbsp butter OR Earth Balance
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 egg OR 1 flax “egg” (1 tbsp ground flax combined with 3 tbsp warm water, combined and left to set for 5 min)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp molasses
• 1 1/2 cups oat flour (you can use rolled oats ground in a blender)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup ground flax
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp ground ginger
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

In a large bowl combine the oat flour, almond flour, ground flax, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.

In a medium-sized bowl combine the butter OR Earth Balance and olive oil

Add egg OR flax egg and combine well

Add maple syrup, vanilla and molasses and combine well

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine well (the batter will be pretty wet – that’s okay)

On a couple of parchment paper-lined baking sheets, scoop about 2 tbsp of batter for each cookie.

Bake on the center rack at 350 degrees for 15 min.

Transfer to a cooling rack to cool before eating.
