3/4 c. canola oil

2/3 c. agave nectar

1/4 c. soy milk

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 c. whole wheat pastry flour

4 T. flax meal

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

3 c. oatmeal

1 c. large chocolate chips or raisins (if using raisins I toss them with cinnamon and nutmeg)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Cream together the canola oil, agave, soy milk, egg and vanilla with a whisk until mixed and fluffy.

3. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and add a little at a time to the creamed mixture whisking lightly to mix together.

4. Stir in oatmeal and flax meal until well blended and then fold in the chocolate chips or raisins.

5. I use a small ice cream scoop to scoop batter onto lined (parchment paper) cookie sheets.

6. Bake for 10 minutes and then let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to cooling rack until completely cool. Store in airtight container, or wrap up as a gift. Enjoy
