OAT COOKIES

Method:

(Optional) Set the oven to preheat at 180 degrees Celsius or 360 Fahrenheit. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and brown sugar, and break up lumps if any.

Add some freshly grated nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Grind 100g of whole oats till it becomes a powder. Alternatively, you can also purchase oat flour from the market

Fold in the flour, using a spatula or the whisk, add a splash of milk and let it blend in with the mixture

Gently add the rolled oats and nuts

If the dough is crumbly or dry, add milk little by little till the dough holds as a ball and can be flattened

Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper

Roll the dough into a size of your choice and flatten it into a cookie shape, then place it on the baking tray

Place the cookie dough about an inch apart from each other. Though this dough does not puff up much. Once you have filled your baking tray, transfer it into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how crunchy you want your cookies.

Let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes before biting in. These taste best the next day, so control the urge for a day if possible.
