Background

These vegan ginger and apricot oat cookies are spicy and sweet at the same time. They are lovely for breakfast or snacking during the day. They remain fresh for a few days if kept in an airtight container.

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
1.5 cups porridge oats
3 Tbsp rapeseed oil
½ cup oat milk (approx.)
3 Tbsp chopped crystallised ginger
1 handful dried apricot, chopped
1 handful of nuts (of your choice), finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mash the bananas with a fork or blend them in a blender.
Add the oats, cinnamon, ginger powder, vanilla and oat milk, then blend again.
Let the mixture rest for a few minutes.
If the batter is too thick, add more oat milk. It should be thick but malleable.
Fold in the chopped apricots, nuts and crystallised ginger.
Using your hands, make equal sized balls, then press them between your palms. Place these on the prepared baking tray.
Bake in the oven for approx. 20 minutes until the cookies look golden.
Let them cool on a wire-rack before serving.
