Healthy Oatmeal Cookie Recipe
This is a beautiful healthy oatmeal cookie recipe with low sugar and fat but you may add 3-4 tablespoons of sugar to make it sweeter if you want to. It is a simple fact that the less sugar you eat, the less you will feel like it.. So it might be a good idea to reduce your sugar intake slowly to get used to it.
Ingredients:
- 1+1/2 cup white flour + 1/2 cup wholemeal flour
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons raisins
- 1 cup dried apricots- chopped
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 tablespoons molasses
- 1+1/4 cup oats
- 1 sachet baking powder
- 1 sachet vanilla
- 3/4 cups coarsely ground roasted hazelnuts (or nuts of your choice)
Preparation:
- Put the chopped dried apricots and raisins with some water into a small saucepan.
- Boil the water and cover the saucepan and let it simmer until the water is absorbed.
- Turn it off, let the raisin and apricot mixture cool down.
- Whisk together the butter, olive oil and molasses in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, blend them in and stir in the milk.
- Add the dried apricot raisin mix, oats, flour, baking powder, vanilla and hazelnuts (or nuts you fancy) and mix them with a spoon.
- Dough should be soft and smooth- can be a little sticky but you should be able to mold it in your hands easily, if not add some more flour.
- Take a spoonful of dough per cookie, use another spoon to scrape it and place them one by one on a baking sheet on your oven tray (1 1/2 inches apart).
- Cook them in the preheated oven (170 degrees C- 338 degrees F) until lightly browned- probably for 15-20 minutes.
- Cool them on the tray for a few minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve with tea or coffee and bon appetit!
