Soft oatmeal cookies made with rolled oats, whole wheat flour, olive oil, Greek yogurt and maple syrup, with USDA numbers per cookie, plus what baking soda and baking powder each do in a cookie.

Ingredients

  • 1 cuprolled oats, old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cupwhole wheat flour, 90 g
  • 1/2 tspbaking powder
  • 1/4 tspbaking soda
  • 1 tspground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tspsalt
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • 1/3 cupmaple syrup
  • 1/8 cupplain greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons
  • 1 largeeggs
  • 1/4 tspvanilla powder

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven and mix the dry ingredients. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, so the leaveners spread evenly.

  2. Whisk the wet ingredients and combine. In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, egg and vanilla until smooth. Add the dry mix and stir just until no dry flour is left. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb some of the liquid.

  3. Scoop and bake. Scoop 12 rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, and flatten each one gently with the back of a spoon or a fork. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look set. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.

Notes

  • The dough is soft and sticky. If it will not hold a shape, rest it 5 more minutes or stir in a tablespoon of oats.
  • The baking time is a range: ovens differ, so judge by the golden edges. The cookies firm up as they cool.
