With all those delicious festive Christmas sweets now out of reach, we’re sure your sweet tooth is craving for some of that sweet goodness! Those sweets often come with unhealthy baggage, but don’t worry – we’ve found a way to stick to your healthy eating routine in the New Year without guilt. Here’s a crispy, crunchy oats and gram flour cookie recipe with the goodness of healthy fats. Let’s get started!
What You Will Need
- Rolled Oats – ½ cup
- Besan (Gram Flour) – ½ cup
- Cinnamon Powder – ½ tsp
- Flax Seeds – 1 tsp
- Raisins – 2 tsp
- Ghee – ¼ cup
- Olive Oil – 2 tsp
- Jaggery Powder – 4 tsp
- Vinegar – 1 tsp
- Vanilla Essence – ½ tsp
- Warm Milk – 1 tbsp
- Dark Chocolate Chips – 2 tbsp
- Baking Soda – ¼ tsp
- Baking Powder – 1 tsp
- Salt – ½ tsp
How To Prepare
- In a bowl, combine oats, besan, cinnamon powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix it well and set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, add ghee, olive oil, vinegar, vanilla essence, warm milk & jaggery powder. Mix thoroughly until the jaggery powder dissolves, forming a smooth paste. It may still have small jaggery particles, so don’t worry about achieving a completely smooth texture. Once done, add chocolate chips, flax seeds and raisins.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients thoroughly. Line a baking tray with butter paper. Portion the dough into small parts, flatten each between your palms, and place the cookies on the tray. Sprinkle some chocolate chips & raisins on the top for extra flavor.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°c for 18-20 minutes or in a microwave using convection mode. Alternatively, you can use an air fryer at 180°c for 15-20 minutes. Check the cookies after 12 minutes to ensure they bake evenly.
Note: You can substitute coconut sugar or stevia powder for jaggery powder if preferred.
Highlights of the Oats and Gram Flour Cookies Recipe
