1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350F. 2 Combine flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine margarine, oil and sugars. Mix on high until sugars are dissolved. 3 Add egg, chutney and vanilla and mix for another minute. 4 Add flour mixture and mix until just blended. Add oats, bran, raisins and walnuts and mix on low until just blended. 5 The dough will be sticky. Form into 12 balls, about 1/4 cup each and place evenly on a non-stick cookie sheet. With damp hands, flatten the cookies, being sure to leave at least 1/4 inch between them. 6 Bake for 12 minutes. Cookies should still be a little soft. Let them cool slightly then transfer to a wire rack.
