Cinnamon Apricot Oatmeal Cookies

If you want to eat healthfully, you’ll want to cook. Maybe not every night but some of the time. Everyone who cooks is always looking for inspiration. We have been absolutely besieged by SuperFoodsRx fans looking for healthy recipes that feature the SuperFoods. Both of our previous books included terrific recipes created by accomplished chefs. SuperFood fans loved these recipes but they wanted more. We are really excited to introduce in the SuperFoodsRx Diet the ‘dream team’ of recipe developers – the SuperFoodsRx Kitchen. That’s our name for the extraordinary team we’ve assembled to create the most appealing, healthy, mouth-watering – and yes, easy – recipes you could ever imagine.

The most important thing to know about the SuperFoods Rx Kitchen is that the recipes will be delicious, easy, healthy and appealing. Most important, they are not afraid of simple. Anyone who has ever roasted a vegetable knows that sometimes a recipe need have no more than two ingredients to be fabulous.

We will be sharing these mouthwatering recipes with you through the regular “Healthy Feels Great” newsletter, as well as featuring many of them throughout this web site.

Best of all, we are working on a brand new cookbook, which will feature the very best recipes developed by the SuperFoodsRx Kitchen and by the thousands of cooks who know the nutritional power of the superfoods.

Cinnamon Apricot Oatmeal Cookies

MAKES 2 DOZEN

If you can't find barley flour, use whole wheat flour for a more crumbly cookie. Date syrup can be found in gourmet and Mediterranean markets. Measure the oil first, then use the same cup for the sweeteners; they will slide right out of the cup. Grapeseed oil is a healthy neutral-flavored oil, but canola or even olive oil works well here.

- 1/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil
- 1/4 cup 100% apple juice
- 1 1/4 cups maple syrup or date syrup
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups barley flour or whole wheat flour
- 3 cups rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the oil, apple juice, syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and jam in a mixing bowl and stir well. Stir in the baking soda and salt, then add the barley flour and oatmeal. Stir to combine. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 15 minutes, or until cookies just start to brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
