Oatmeal Butternut Squash Cookies Recipe
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and wash 1 butternut squash;
- Carefully slice squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and set aside;
- Rub squash with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt;
- Place squash on baking sheet and cook for 25 – 30 minutes (until tender);
- Remove squash from skin and let cool, reduce oven to 325 degrees;
- While squash is cooking, combine 2 cups of rolled oats with 2/3 cup of raisins, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup of flax seeds (optional);
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and a pinch of salt to the oat mixture;
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs – then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract with 1/4 cup of Ravine’s Edge maple syrup and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil;
- Fold 1/2 cup of the cooled butternut squash into the egg mixture;
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients until everything is combined;
- Drop large tablespoons of batter onto a parchment lined baking sheet and gently flatten;
- Bake at 325 degrees for about 16 minutes, until lightly browned;
- Let cool for 15 minutes, then enjoy!
- Note: Roasted butternut squash seeds are a crunchy treat – to roast, simply heat oven to 275 degrees while melting 1 teaspoon of butter in a baking dish. Add cleaned and dried seeds to the melted butter and stir to coat, then sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake seeds for about 20 minutes, until browned, and enjoy!
- Variation: Sweet potatoes are an excellent substitute for the butternut squash in this recipe – simply substitute 1/2 cup of cooked sweet potato for the squash and mix thoroughly into egg mixture.
- Ingredients: Butternut Squash, Rolled Oats, Raisins, Walnuts, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Salt, Eggs, Maple Syrup, Vanilla Extract, Vegetable Oil.
