I recently made this recipe for a group of health conscious ladies and promised to post the recipe. This is our new family favorite…adapted from a recipe by America’s Test Kitchen. For the fruit I used a mix of dried cherries, blueberries and craisins chopped into small pieces.

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup virgin cold pressed coconut oil

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

2 lg eggs

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats (do not use instant)

1 1/2 cups chopped dried fruit of your choice (raisins, craisins, blueberries, cherries, or a mixture of several)

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Heat oven to 325 F. Grease cookie sheet with coconut oil or line with parchment. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and spices in a medium bowl.

In a larger bowl, beat coconut oil and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined.

With mixer on low, slowly add flour mixture until combined. Add oats, dried fruit and nuts until just mixed in.

Roll dough into balls and flatten slightly on cookie sheet. Bake until cookies are barely golden brown, but centers are still soft, about 12-15 minutes.

Enjoy!
