Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup oat flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour -- (pastry flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon barley malt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Cover the raisins with orange juice and set aside to soften for 10 minutes.

Mix the dry ingredients: flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir with a wire whisk to mix.

Drain the raisins (you can reuse the orange juice, or drink it, so it doesn't go to waste). Mix the wet ingredients: raisins, oil, maple syrup, barley malt, vanilla extract and vinegar until well combined in a small bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until dough holds together. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350.

Remove dough from refrigerator. Pinch off pieces of dough, roll in your hands into walnut sized balls or use an oiled ice cream scoop (2 tablespoons) to measure portions. Flatten each cookie to about 1/4 inch, keep the thickness even. Bake 7 to 8 minutes. The cookies will be slightly puffed, the tops will be dry and the bottoms light brown.

Remove cookie sheet from oven, slip a spatula under each cookie and gently lift cookies onto cooling rack. Hot cookies are fragile; the firm as they cool. Store cooled cookies in a tightly covered container.
