Oatie Cookies

So as you can see, I've baked some Oatie Cookies! To be more precise I have baked Healthier Oat cookies from the BBC GoodFood book 101 Teatime treats. The cookies are spiced raisin and oat but they contain olive spread rather than butter and fat, making them (slightly) healthier, I'm assuming that's why they are called Healthier Oat Cookies. I thought it was about time that I did bake some proper cookies because in all the 3 months (gone so quick!) that I've been blogging, not once have I mentioned cookies! I've done, biscuits and tray-bakes, cupcakes and layer-cakes, but no cookies. With a name like raining cake and cookies it seems a tad ironic that there are no cookies to be found on my blog! So anyway; here they are, Healthier Oat Cookies!



Much love, Alex-Rose xxxx

Healthier Oat Cookies- From GoodFood 101 Teatime Treats

Ingredients:

  • 100g olive spread
  • 50g muscovado sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of clear honey
  • 1/4 of a teaspoon mixed spice
  • 100g self-rising flour
  • 100g porridge oats
  • 50g raisins
Method:
First melt the spread, sugar, and honey in the microwave, stir and set aside. Next sieve the spice and flour into a large bowl, add the oats and raisins then stir. Mix in the melted ingredients and mix well until a dough is formed. Grease and line two tray, then roll spoonfuls of the dough at a time and place the balls on the trays, keeping them well spaced. Use a fork to press the dough down into flat rounds, bake in the oven for 15 mins or until golden brown.  Eat and enjoy! xxx
