Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 3 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Agave syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and agave syrup until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will firm up as they cool).

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
