Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mini food processor, grind the oats into fine flour.
In a medium-size bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oats through salt)
Add the remaining wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated. The dough should be sticky.
Using a tablespoon scoop one heaping tablespoon of batter at a time onto a baking sheet, leaving 2 inches or more of space between cookies. Using your fingers, shape into round flat saucers.
Bake for 7 minutes.
Allow to cool for 5 mins on baking sheets, then transfer with spatula to a wire cooling rack and cool for an additional 5 minutes.
Makes approx. 23 cookies.
