About the Recipe
Delicious cookies offer soft-in-the-middle, crisp-on-the-outside textures with the bonus of being a healthier treat to enjoy with your cuppa.
Ingredients
100g oats
1 ripe medium banana (85g), mashed
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted butter or vegetable oil
25g plain flour
1 egg, separated
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180ºC, fan 160ºC. Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
Step 2
Put the oats in a food processor with the banana, honey, coconut oil, flour, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Pulse until combined. Add 2-3 tbsp water if necessary – you’re looking for the mixture to hold its shape when pressed together.
Step 3
With damp hands, roll the mixture into 10 balls, then flatten slightly.
Step 4
Place on the lined trays and flatten again slightly with the back of a fork. Brush with the egg white.
Step 5
Bake for 15 mins until starting to turn golden round the edges. Allow to cool for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
