Superfood Breakfast Cookies




Ingredients
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats  (use certified gluten-free oats , if needed)
  • � cup oat flour*
  • � cup dried cranberries , raisins, or other dried fruit**
  • � cup unsalted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)  or other seed/nut**
  • � cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • � teaspoon baking powder
  • � teaspoon salt
  • 1 large mashed banana or � cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil  or butter
  • 3 tablespoons coconut nectar/syrup , honey, or other liquid sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk or other milk of choice

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325�F. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl�oats, oat flour, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Stir in mashed banana, coconut oil, coconut nectar, and almond milk until well blended. Let mixture rest for 4�5 mintutes, giving time for chia and flax to bind everything together. Should look like the dough in the photo above. If your dough has gotten too thick, stir in an additional 1�2 tablespoons milk before scooping out onto your baking sheet.
  3. Measure dough out by the scant � cupful and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or lightly greased). These cookies don't spread much while baking, so I like to gently press the dough with the palm of my hand to flatten a bit.
  4. Bake for 15�18 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2�3 days. Makes 8�9 cookies.

Notes
*Can make your own by finely grinding whole oats in a food processor or coffee grinder.
**Can substitute an equal amount of nuts, seeds, or dry fruit.

THE BEST CREPE RECIPE

Ingredients 4 large eggs 2 1/4 cups milk 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 cup melted butter or canola oil good pinch of salt US Customary - Metric Instructions Place all ingredients in order as listed in a blender and blitz until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and blend again briefly until batter is lump-free. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, but 2 is ideal. Place nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat* to preheat. Melt a little butter or oil in the bottom of the pan and swirl to coat. With the hot skillet in one hand and the batter in the other, slowly and steadily pour crepe batter into the center of the pan, tilting the skillet around to spread the batter evenly across the bottom in a very thin layer. It takes some practice but after 3 or 4 times, you can get consistently even crepes. After 10-15 seconds, the crepe batter shouldn't look shiny anymore, it should appear more matte and the bottom should be lightly browned. So,...
