Easy Healthy Oatmeal Cookies

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 25 mins | Quantity: 16 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 large banana
  • 1 orange – grated zest only
  • 1/4 cup (60g) vegan butter – melted
  • 45g (3 tablespoons) agave or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons plant milk
  • 140g (1 + 1/4 cups) oats
  • 40g (1/3 cup) ground almonds
  • 20g (2 tablespoons) ground flax seeds
  • 40g (1/4 cup) sesame seeds
  • 15g (1 tablespoon) chia seeds
  • 70g (1/2 cup) sultanas
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170 Fan / 190 C / 375 F / Gas 5 and line 1-2 baking trays with parchment or silicon mats
  2. Peel the banana and break into chunks in a large bowl. Mash well then add the grated orange zest, melted butter, syrup and milk. Stir together
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until everything is well mixed
  4. Scoop out spoonfuls onto your tray(s) - this mix makes roughly 16 medium sized cookies but you can make larger ones if you'd prefer. Flatten and shape into discs with a spoon or damp hands
  5. You can space the cookies fairly close together as they don't spread
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until just golden and set
  7. Enjoy while they're warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container. The cookies can also be frozen
