Hello cookie fans!
Welcome to inside track on how to make your very own yummy oaty cookies! Want to be popular in your house, this is how you can score a few extra points!
True to their name, these cookies are super easy, they are tasty too! There really is noting quite like a delicious cookie, whatever type of cookie it is. They are just heaven!
This recipe has that certain special something about them, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but perhaps it’s a great combination of the ingredients.
Another great thing about this cookie recipe is that you only really need around 5 ingredients. Easy peasy.
Substitutions
For where it says nut butters, feel free to use peanut, almond or hazelnut butter. All of them taste delicious in these cookies. My only recommendation would be to choose one that’s 100% nut butter. That means one with no added nasties for ingredients.
For pure maple syrup, you can easily substitute this for agave syrup, will still work.
If you don’t have cocoa powder, but you do have dark chocolate chips, worry not my cookie-making-friends. You can swap out the cocoa powder and instead mix in the chocolate chips.
Nutrition Info
I’ll be honest. I’m not usually a calorie counter. But maybe when it comes to sweet treats I do keep an eye on the stats. Just to be sure. I love these cookies because they taste so good but they are only 126 calories each. You can have two and still feel like you haven’t even eaten anything bad, even though they are a treat. Yay to that.
The oats have some protein and vitamins in. Want to know more about vegan sources? Then I’ve got you covered, you can check out Where Plant-Based Vegans Get Their Protein From.
The cocoa powder is derived from beans, they contain hefty quantities of natural antioxidants called flavonoids. The researchers found natural cocoa contains the highest capacity of the antioxidant procyanidin. Antioxidants are thought to be effective in helping to prevent cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
Method
Quick, easy and simple. As they have few ingredients, they are a pleasure to make. I’ve included some pics for you so that you can see the kind of textures to go for at the mixing stages!
Top Tip
If you have them, use old fashioned whole rolled oats. The results will guarantee a much more chewy and substantial texture. If you use quick oats, it’s probable the cookies won’t feel the same quality.
