I swapped the butter for coconut oil, which means the dough will be a little sweeter and contain plenty of healthy fats, and then instead of water and sugar, I swapped it for agave - but you can also use maple syrup. I thought that I'd use cranberries instead of raisins as well, as I simply love the colour of them, and they're at least as delicious as their not too distant berry cousin, so...there's that!
Crumbly Oat & Cranberry Cookies
(Makes 7-8 small ones)
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup (spelt) flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp maple- or agave syrup
A good handful and a bit of dried cranberries
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
- Mix all the ingredients together well and stir to combine, making sure that the coconut oil isn't lumpy (optionally melt it a little before mixing it in).
- Shape little walnut-sized balls with your hands and place on a baking tray with baking paper, and bake them in the middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes. Cool on a rack before serving.
So far this week, I have been up at 6am so that I had enough time to get ready for the opening at work. Chilling like a villain in the evening, reading a Norwegian crime book (makes a change from fantasy fiction!), I hope you have had a good week so far, been up to much? x
Recipe by yours truly inspired by these.

Yum! Love the look of these cookies! I love how there is not too many ingredients. I need to start using my coconut oil again!
ReplyDeleteOpening at work, eh? That sounds like fun! My week has been busy so far, but I get my one chilling day today :)
Thanks Cathleen! When you see a recipe that only contains a handful of ingredients, you just want to make it straight away right? That was how I felt about these anyway :) And coconut oil makes most biscuits super crumbly :D
DeleteThird day of opening the cafê. but it's gone really well :D I hope you enjoyed your day of chin-chilling to the max :) xx
Those look delicious! Cookies are always great with coconut oil. I like cranberries too, much better than raisins :)
ReplyDeleteHey cheers! Dried cranberries just have that bit of an edge to them yeh? Sometimes I find raisins can be a little bit too sweet, but I love them anyway as well :P This just made for a more Wintery version :) I hope to veganify a few other recipes in the future :) x
DeleteThese look yummy!! And healthy too! I may have to give them a try!
