Tips & Facts

• Spelt flour contains gluten which helps bind food together, however the gluten in spelt is slightly more delicate than wheat gluten, so it requires special attention when using it in baking or cooking.
• When substituting spelt flour for wheat flour, use as a one-to-one ratio substitute for whole wheat flour and up to half the flour in recipes calling entirely for all-purpose flour.
• Spelt flour has a lighter, sweeter flavor than traditional whole wheat flour with a slight nuttiness. This can greatly add to the depth of flavor in a variety of recipes over wheat.
• This flour is LOW FAT! A single 2 Tbsp serving has 3g of dietary fiber, 4g of protein, and only .5g of fat. Not to mention, it’s a whole grain source of vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, vitamin B3, and magnesium. 

Lastly, these spelt and oatmeal raisin cookies are:

• LOADED with Vitamin D, healthy fats, and protein.
• EASY to make and easy to enjoy. 

Spelt and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 12-15 min
Total Time: 40 min

Instructions:

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, spelt flour and baking powder. Add the raisins and stir to combine.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, milk, vanilla and salt. Add in the oil and whisk until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold gently until well mixed and there is no dry flour showing. The batter will be wet. It will thicken up as the batter rests. Let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
4. Using an ice cream scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, so all cookies are about the same size, scoop the batter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten the tops of the cookies a little.
   These cookies don’t spread much so only leave about one inch between each cookie.
5. Bake until the edges are golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with the flaky salt as soon as they come out of the oven.
6. Let cool on the baking sheet then cool completely on a rack. Cookies will keep for a few days in a sealed container. Serve with a glass of cold milk for the perfect snack or dessert. Enjoy!
