- 150g porridge oats
- 2 tbsp ground almonds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
Fruits
- 100g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 4, and line two baking trays with baking parchment to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, porridge oats, ground almonds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir together until you form a sticky dough.
- Add the raspberries: Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to break them to keep whole berry bursts in the cookies.
- Form the cookies: Using tablespoons, scoop out the mixture and roll into balls. Place the balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking trays, then flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form cookie shapes.
- Bake the cookies: Place the trays in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm around the edges and have turned a golden brown color.
- Cool and store: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the trays. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container where they will keep fresh for up to three days.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
- Fresh or frozen raspberries work equally well; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent extra moisture.
- These cookies are best consumed within three days for optimal freshness.
- You can substitute ground almonds with another nut flour if preferred.
- If you want a crunchier cookie, consider baking for a couple of extra minutes, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
