I guess this pregnancy has made me food-obsessed or something, because my last 3 posts have all been about food! Anyways, today I experimented with my regular oatmeal cookie recipe and decided to switch the refined flour out for a whole grain version. I decided to use spelt flour (spelt is an ancient form of wheat), and they came out great! I thought I would share the recipe with you here:
What You Need:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup whole-grain spelt flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional?)
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked whole oats
- Preheat oven to 350
- Beat butter and sugars until smooth. Add egg and vanilla.
- Mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to butter mixture.
- Gently mix in oats and chocolate chips
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
This recipe makes a fairly small batch... enough for a family. If you plan on sharing, I would double it! Pin It Now!
These sound so tasty! I"m so glad to find someone else who bakes with whole grain flour!
