Oat Cookies with Nuts, Cranberries and Banana

I may not be such a horrible mum after all. Do you remember an idea to trick my baby that fruits and veggies are sweets? Well, I still think it will work out, but I may bake her few cookies from time to time as well. Oat cookies with nuts and dried fruits taste amazing and are a great substitute for ones we buy in stores. It’s almost like a bowl of granola in the morning. That’s why we should have it with a glass of milk.

I found the original recipe on Anja’s Food 4 Thought blog. From my recipe you’ll get 6 bigger cookies, but you can easily double ingredients if you feel like more.

This is it for today, I could write, that I got a list of things I need to buy for a child and myself before her appearance and that I totally freaked out, but I won’t. I could also write that I didn’t even know that half of them exists, but again I won’t. Let’s stay optimistic.

You will need (for 6 cookies):

• ¾ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup coconut flakes
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• 1 banana, mashed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp agave nectar
• 1 tbsp sesam seeds

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Use two tablespoons of mix for each cookie. You can use round dough cutter to form nice round shape or you can do it by hands. Place baking paper on a tray, put 6 or more cookies on it and bake in 175*C for about 20 minutes.

Enjoy, Marta
