Elderflower, coconut and banana oat cookies
These elderflower, coconut and banana oat cookies are a variation on my healthyoat and banana cookiesbut they are also gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and fat-free. There is some sugar in these, which comes from home-made,reduced-sugar elderflower cordial. So these cookies are still more healthy than most oat-based cereal bars you buy in the shops, and yet super easy to make.
Ingredients
Method
- Mash the bananas with a fork or blend them in a blender.
- Add enough oats and the other ingredients to create a malleable dough. Let it rest until the oven warms up.
- Turn the oven on to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Make equal sized balls (8-10) from the mixture and flatten these slightly between your palms. Put these on the baking tray and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the edge turns golden brown.
- Meanwhile, mix the cordial with the lemon juice in a pan and heat it up. Let it bubble until it gets syrupy.
- When the cookies are done, transfer them to a wire rack and brush with the glaze.
- Let them cool before serving.
