Baked Oat Cookies

Essentially these are a great way to have syn free cookies if you have them as your HEB.  Ok, they’re not always syn free as it depends what you put in them but I’ve listed below the basic ingredients and then some flavor options….perfect accompaniment to a coffee especially warm from the oven!

Ingredients:

40g oats

2 tablespoons syn free sweetener

2 tablespoons fat free yogurt

1 lightly beaten egg

1 teaspoon essence of choice
**filling/flavour ideas and syns below**

Method:

Pre heat oven to 180 or gas mark 6

Mix everything together, add the flavourings of your choice

Place in four big cookie shapes on greaseproof paper or a baking tray lightly sprayed with frylite.  I like them to be soft in the middle so sort of dollop them, for crispier cookies just make them thinner.  

The cookies don’t spread much so the shape you go with is pretty much what you’ll get out

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until springy to touch

Really great served warm and but will keep 2-3 days in an airtight container
