Time to be healthy

Actually, I started to search for no flour cookies because my sister can’t eat any wheat products. Lately, it seems that there are more and more people close to myself that have some product intolerance. Thus, this recipe is dedicated to all my loved ones in that situation: Livija, Elina Evelina, and Marian. I’m offering several alternatives to prepare these cookies – just pick the one you can eat or that sounds better to you

Yield: 20-30 cookies depending on size

Ingredients:

• 150g oatmeal
• 150g of mixed  nuts & raisins of different kinds – select the nuts and proportion as you wish
• 1 medium size ripe banana or 100g of applesauce
• 1 egg or 2 tablespoons cornstarch (you may add some more applesauce/ banana if you use cornstarch)
• 100g of peanut butter
• 100g of sugar – you can vary the amount of sugar you put in, the more you put the crunchier and sweeter they’ll be

Step by step

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

• Roast the oatmeal in the saucepan on medium heat. Before roasting, I’ve used the blender to slightly reduce it.

• Blend all the nuts & raisins so that they are the same size.

• Beat the egg with sugar. If no egg is used, mix the sugar with cornstarch and add applesauce or banana.
• Mix in the oatmeal, add nuts & raisin mixture and gratted banana or applesauce (if not added yet).

• Finally, add peanut butter and mix everything together well.

• With the help of spoon, form small flat circles and place them into the prepared oven baking pan, on top of baking paper.

• Bake for 30min or until they are lightly caramelized and brown.

Enjoy!
