Description
This healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie has no eggs, dairy or refined sugar. You can make a gluten-free version with brown rice flour or a more traditional version with unbleached white. Either way, it’s a satisfying treat.

- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cups maple syrup
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or raisins (or both)
