Recipe of the Week: Clean Cookies
Feel like a sweet treat?nLook no further than these tasty biccies. I made these with my toddler last week – it was a cold, rainy day and so we were indoors all day, and we decided to do some baking. I try to minimise the amount of refined sugar, flours, etc I use in my cooking, so went on the search for a healthy cookie recipe. I found a great one on www.onehandedcooks.com.au and modified it to suit what I had in the pantry! Here’s my recipe for Clean Cookies! Ingredients: 1 cup of pitted dates, roughly choppedn1.5 cups of rolled oatsn1/2 cup of desiccated coconut 1 tsp baking powdern1 tsp vanilla extractn1 tbsp. coconut oil, meltedn1 tsp honey 1/4 cup milknHandful of sultanas Method: Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place all ingredients, except for the milk, in your food processor. Blend to combine. Place mixture in a bowl. Stir through the milk until a moist batter forms. Roll tablespoon sized balls and place on a lined baking tray. Flatten gently. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes. Allow to cool. (The cookies will still feel quite soft, however they will harden up as they cool.)nEnjoy! These cookies are perfect for your post-workout snack, or for your kids school lunchboxes. *Store cookies in the fridge.
