Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tablespoons water
- 1 cup dairy free butter
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- 1 ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 cups granola or granola cereal
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup dates, chopped in small pieces
Instructions
- In a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- In a small bowl mix the flaxseed meal and water and set aside so it can thicken.
- In a large bowl add the butter and coconut sugar and beat with a hand mixer until it is light and fluffy. That takes about 5 minutes.
- If you have a granola that is in large clumps put it in a baggie and pound it with a mallet (or some such item) that will crunch the the granola into smaller bits.
- Now to the large bowl with the butter mixture add the flaxseed meal mixture and almond milk and stir.
- Beat in the flour mixture a half a cup at a time. You can use the hand mixer up to this point.
- Now hand mix in the chocolate chips, raisins, dates and granola.
- Drop onto an ungreased baking sheet by the tablespoon full. Space about 2" apart.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 9 minutes. Let set 3 minutes and remove to racks to cool completely.
