Fiber Cookies
These fiber-rich cookies are easy to make and one serving yields a much needed 10 grams of fiber to your diet. This recipe makes 90-100 cookies; the serving size for the nutrition information is 6 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flax seed ground
- 1/2 cup chia seed
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 6 ounces pitted prunes
- 14 ounces dried figs about 26, with stems cut off
- 2 cups oat bran
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 orange zested and seeds removed or zested and juiced.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- If your flaxseed are whole, grind them. I have found a coffee grinder works best.
- Add flaxseed, chia seed, prunes, figs, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and water to a food processor process until smooth. You can just remove the seeds and add the whole orange after you zest the orange, but you may have a few bits of the orange membrane in your cookies. That doesn't bother me, but it is up to you.
- Toss oat bran with baking powder and add to the mixture.
- Pulse the food processor to just combine.
- Scoop batter and place on a silicone baking mat or parchment-lined cookie sheet. I use this 1 Tablespoon scoop and it works great.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Let cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- I zap mine for 15-20 seconds before I enjoy them.
