HEALTHY SUGAR FREE OATS AND FRUIT COOKIES

Here is a recipe of healthy sugar free oats and fruit cookies. I have used mashed banana and honey for sweetening them. You can also use apple pulp instead. Cinnamon powder goes well with banana and apple flavour. I just love the aroma while the cookies are being baked.

Ingredients:
Oats .... 1 cup
Whole wheat flour ... 1/2 cup
Eggs ............ 1
Baking soda ... 1/4 tsp
Salt ............... 1/4 spoon
Mashed banana .. 1/2 cup (2 medium size bananas)
Fresh red currants .. 1/4 cup
Raisins .............. handful
Dessicated coconut .. 2 tbsps
Honey ...... 2 tbsps
Butter ...... 3 tbsps (softened)

Method:
1. Beat the butter and honey until blended.
2. Add the egg and beat it until well mixed.
3. Now add the oats, flour, mashed banana, salt, raisins, baking soda. Stir to mix all the ingredients. Finally add red currants and dessicated coconut and stir carefully. The moisture of mashed banana, honey and egg is sufficient to bind the dough.
4. Heat the oven to 180 degrees C (360 degrees F)
5.Take a small portion and flatten it on your palm. Place them baking sheet and flatten the cookies with a fork.
6. Bake them for about 15 - 20  minutes or until light brown.
