Feel like a sweet treat?

Look 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!

1 cup of pitted dates, roughly chopped

1.5 cups of rolled oats

1/2 cup of desiccated coconut

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp. coconut oil, melted

1 tsp honey

1/4 cup milk

Handful 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.)

Enjoy! These cookies are perfect for your post-workout snack, or for your kids school lunchboxes.

*Store cookies in the fridge.
