Vegan Sugar Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I just made these this evening and they are amazingly good!  I had to stop myself! 
  • 1/2 cup of Agave Nectar
  • 2 Tbsp Milled Flax Seed mixed with 6 tbsp water (I microwave 30 seconds to get it thickened up, it will become kind of egg white texture.)
  • 1/8th of a teaspoon of Stevia Organic Extract Powder
  • 1 and 1/4 cup of flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cup of Oatmeal
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 3/4 of a teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 c. raisins (optional)

Because of the replacement of Agave Nectar for sugar, you will need to play around with some of the amounts here. Just add a tiny bit of oatmeal and flour until you like the consistency.
I've cut down the amount of Agave, and added in Stevia to help balance out the portions, and make sure the recipe isn't too wet.


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine and Beat the Agave Nectar and Flax mixture in a bowl. Beat the mixture until it is all mixed together.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda.
Now mix the two big bowls together. If it's too wet add in flour and oatmeal like I described above.
Make balls as big as a walnut. Place on a greased Cookie Sheet and press each one down with a fork.

Bake for 15 minutes (or until cookies are golden brown) at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
