What’s in the Cupboard: *Oat flour – you don’t need to buy this. You can simply use a food processor and grind up your rolled oats for a few minutes and Presto! You’ve got oat flour. When measuring, use a spoon to transfer it to your measuring vessel. Processing it will cause it to be fluffier so you want to measure again after processing. Indeed, you need both the processed flour and the 3 and 3/4 cups of the rolled oats.

You can substitute Cinnamon and Nutmeg for the Pie Spice using 1 and 1/2 tsp of each instead. You can use ghee or coconut oil or a mix of both. Use any sugar you like, I just prefer Monk Fruit to make the recipe sugar free. You can add 3 TBSP of molasses to this recipe for enhanced taste as well. If you are fresh out of raisins, but have prunes, they work great in this recipe! I just cut them into small pieces first. I have not made these using chia seed or flax eggs, but I don’t see any reason why that would not work. If you can, use duck eggs, they really enhance the body of the cookie.

Dishing on this Dish: We have made these for years, and they are always a hit! We found using duck eggs makes a firmer cookie. These are pretty firm with chicken eggs, but they need a bit of time to cool and set up after pulling them out of the oven. This is a nice large recipe. It makes about 6 dozen small cookies or about 4 dozen large cookies. This is great for large families, or for freezing. These cookies freeze so nice! Just pull them out when you are ready to use them. They travel well too. What is the benefit of using oat flour? Low Oxalate! The chocolate chips will add some oxalate for sure, so use more raisins and less chips, or just omit the chips all together.
