Oats are my absolute favourite, I love the texture, taste and their nutritional profile is great. The apple and agave nectar in these cookies add the sweetness so no need for refined sugar, and the coconut oil is a healthier replacement for the butter or margarine in traditional cookies. Apple and cinnamon are a match made in heaven, the combination is so delicious! These are perfect for lunch boxes and go down a treat with a cup of tea mid afternoon, or could even be an on-the-go breakfast.
Ingredients
(Makes 10-12)
100g oats
90g rice flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup agave nectar
2 apples, finely diced
Method
1. In one bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut oil, vanilla and agave nectar
2. Stir in the oats, rice flour, cinnamon, baking powder and apple
3. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes
4. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees, and line a baking tray with baking paper
5. Shape the mixture into cookies and place on baking tray, you should get about 10-12 out of this mixture. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes
6. Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack. When cool store in an airtight container and eat within 5 days, if they last that long!
