Ingredients
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup evaporated cane juice sugar (a.k.a. raw sugar)
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tsp cinamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick cook or old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup wheat germ, preferably toasted
1/4 cup flax meal
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup raisins or craisins
1/2 cup toasted pecans, or walnuts finely chopped
Putting it all together:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together butter and oil until completely blended. Whisk in sugar, egg, vanilla and salt; set aside. In a second large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ, flax meal, flour, spices and baking powder, then add to butter mixture and stir well to combine thoroughly. Fold in raisins and pecans.
Drop dough by the spoonful onto lightly greased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and bake until cooked through and golden brown, 10 to 11 minutes. Carefully transfer to wire racks and set aside to let cool completely.
