Maple Oat And Fig Cookies Food

MAPLE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In your stand mixer, whisk butter and maple syrup on medium speed until creamy. It might look a little weird for a second but it will come together. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
• In a second bowl, combine whole white wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix until uniform. Slowly pour into the butter mixture, mixing on low until combined.
• Switch to the paddle attachment, or using a rubber spatula, add oats and additional add-ins (if using); fold into the dough until combined.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Cool for a minute on cookie sheets so they don't fall apart when you move them. Then move to wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

MAPLE-OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, stir together oats, flour, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on high until pale and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and 1/4 cup water, scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, beat in oat mixture in 2 additions until just combined.
• Drop dough in rounded teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, about 11 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool on sheets until set, about 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. (Store cookies in an airtight container, up to 1 week.)

HOMEMADE OATMEAL FIG BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8-inch (what I use and recommend) or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars when they have cooled. Set aside.
• Combine the chopped dried figs, water, and orange juice together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring occasionally for 5-8 minutes or until figs are soft and have absorbed some of the liquid. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a food processor or blender and puree until there are no more chunks (fig seeds will not break down). Set aside. Makes *about* 1 and 1/4 cups filling.
• In a large bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and egg together. Add the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Begin whisking to combine and once the mixture becomes too thick, switch to a spoon or rubber spatula to bring the ingredients together. You will have about 2 and 1/2 cups of this crust/topping mixture.
• Take a little over 1 and 1/2 cups of the crust/topping mixture and press it evenly into the lined pan. Spread fig filling in an even layer on top. Spoon remaining crust/topping mixture evenly on top and gently press it down into the filling to ensure it's tight and compact on top.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top has lightly browned. Avoid over-baking. 8 inch pans take closer to 30 minutes, 9 inch pans take closer to 25 minutes. (Note: Oil/moisture will soak on the parchment paper during the baking & cooling process. That's normal with this recipe.) Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Cool bars completely.
• Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang on the sides. Cut into squares.
• Cover leftover bars and store at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

MAPLE OAT AND FIG COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Lightly coat baking sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment or a silpat.
• With an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar until lightened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the syrup, egg and vanilla and continue to blend.
• Sprinkle with the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until incorporated. Add the oats and figs and stir to incorporate.
• Drop the batter onto the baking sheets by the tablespoon, 2 inches apart (cookies really spread, so leave space).
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden and bottoms have browned (they turn dark quickly, so keep an eye on them).
• Let cool on sheet until crisp enough to transfer.

MAPLE OAT CHEWIES (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Cream butter (a combination of half butter and half margarine works best) and sugars; add molasses, maple extract, and eggs; beat well.
• Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; add to dough; stir in oatmeal and crisp rice cereal.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto greased baking sheets.
• Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes until light golden-brown.
• Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove cookies and cool completely on rack.
• Store cooled cookies in sealed container to preserve their chewy texture.

MAPLE, PECAN & RAISIN OATY COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line 3 large baking trays with baking parchment. In a medium bowl mix the oats, coconut, flour, pecans and raisins. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter and sugar with the syrups, then remove from the heat. Combine the boiling water and bicarb, then add this to the butter mix. Pour over the oat mixture and stir to combine. Form balls using an ice-cream scoop of mixture and place on the lined trays, with lots of space around them, about 6 per tray. Flatten each ball slightly.
• Bake for 14-16 mins, depending on how chewy you like them. Allow to stand for 1 min then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
