Fitness: Nutrition: HOMEMADE OAT VANILLA COOKIES

 

🍪HOMEMADE OAT VANILLA COOKIES🍪

In a year when #covid19 #lockdown is in and out of our lives, one thing that definitely shines through is that we all have more time to spend at home. That's the perfect opportunity to focus on nutrition without too many distractions and lack of time, but also become more creative and add variation in our diet.

If you're a regular here, you know already that i LOVE adjusting recipes in such a way to provide the maximum of taste, increase the nutritional value while keeping the calories as low as possible.👍

My latest experiment (which i am thrilled about) is homemade vanilla cookies made of oats!🍪


HINT: This might be the year's go-to for healthy christmas cookies as well !🎄❤👍🎅



🍪For this recipe you will need:

  • 2 cups of oats (120g)
  • vanilla extract
  • a dash of salt
  • a dash of baking soda
  • 1 large banana (mashed)
  • 80g tahini
  • 60g creamy peanut butter
  • calorie-free sweetener (a few drops)
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg

🍪Optional: to turn them into protein cookies, replace 40g of oats with whey powder👍

First, add all the dry indredients in the bowl, mix them and add the tahini and peanutbutter. They should be warm and almost liquid but not completely molten. Stir them all together until you get a thick dough and then transfer it, in a roll shape, on a baking sheet. Refridgerate for 3-4h until the dough hardens.



Then take it out of the fridge and cut thin slices. For more crispy cookies aim for 2-3mm, or go thicker for more fudgy center. 


And then bake at 180oC for around 40 minutes. Make sure to turn them around 1-2 times!

    Voila!🍪
