Easter Cookies
Healthier Easter Cookies By Emily Leary, author of Get Your Kids To Eat Anything Ingredients l 2 bananas l 3 tbsp honey l 2 tbsp cocoa l 150g rolled oats l 80g chocolate mini eggs Instructions Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), 180°C fan, Gas Mark 6. Line a couple of baking trays with baking paper. Mash the bananas in a large bowl, then add the maple syrup and mix well. Stir in the cocoa and oats until evenly combined.
These are easy to make, with plenty of opportunities for the kids to get involved with mashing, measuring and mixing. They’re made healthier with the use of bananas and oats, but still offer the satisfying chocolate hit we all love! Makes 12. Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Divide the mixture into 12 (about 2 level tablespoons each) and roll into balls. Place them on the baking trays. Press a teaspoon into the centre of each cookie to create a nest shape. Bake for 12 minutes, then cool on a wire rack. Add a couple of chocolate mini eggs to the centre of each cookie.
