- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1 arge egg
- 1 cup oats old fashioned or quick (not instant)
- 3/4 cup pulverized raw okra (okra that’s been chopped and food processed so it looks like chunky guacamole – I pulverized part of a defrosted bag of frozen okra)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and fennel. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until creamy.
- Beat in vanilla and egg.
- Slowly mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and okra.
- Scoop approximately 1/4 cup balls of batter onto a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Place 6 balls to a sheet and bake one sheet at a time on the center rack for 18 minutes.
