• 1/2 Large Sweet Apple
• 90g Smooth Nut Butter (e.g. peanut, almond, cashew)
• 2 tbsp Buckwheat Flour
• 100g Oatmeal (porridge oats)

Baked Oatmeal Cookies Instructions:

Step One: Mash your medium-ripe banana in a bowl using a fork.

Step Two: Grate the large sweet apple into fine pieces, add cinnamon, and mix.

Step Three: Combine the mashed banana, grated apple, nut butter and flour. Mix until a thick paste is formed.

Step Five: While the dough rests, prepare the baking tray and line it with baking paper.

Step Six: Wet your hands lightly, scoop the dough with a spoon (about a tablespoon), shape the cookie with your hands and place onto the tray.

Step Seven: Once the cookies have been formed, top them off with pieces of your favourite fruit or chocolate.

Step Eight: Bake the cookies for 15-22 minutes at 190 C or until lightly browned.

Top Tips

While the cookies are resting, pre-heat the oven. This means they will be ready to bake straight away.

Chill the dough for 1-2 hours before baking for a better flavour.

If you don’t have any baking paper, grease the baking tray with a small layer of butter and sprinkle flour on top until a thin layer is formed, this stops the oatmeal cookies from sticking to the tray.
