→ Add-ins
13 - 1/2 cup chopped dried pineapple
14 - 1/2 cup raisins
# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl, stir, and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and prepared flax egg until smooth and creamy.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped dried pineapple and raisins until evenly distributed.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
06 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The pineapple keeps these cookies incredibly moist without needing any dairy
- Turmeric adds an earthy warmth that balances the sweetness perfectly
02 -
- Do not skip the flax egg resting period or your cookies will crumble apart
- Measuring the coconut oil while it is solid gives more accurate results than melted
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients prevent the coconut oil from solidifying mid-mix
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky to scoop cleanly
