NUTS & OATS COOKIES

If you love nuts, these nuts & oats cookies are must have. They are made with mixed nuts, coconut oil, spelt flour and cinnamon, makes them delicious and perfect for snack or as a breakfast on go as they are packed with slow releasing carbs and fibre.

These cookies are also perfect for vegans, just use spelt flour or oats instead of Whey Protein or just use plant based protein and you will have delicious, healthy cookies.

This recipe is one of my favourites as I love cinnamon and nuts! Also, the nuts provide crunchy taste to your cookies. You can use your favourite nuts, dried fruit or add chocolate on top or add to the batter. I’ve added a sesame seeds and crushed almonds in the batter, sometimes I am adding few chocolates drops straight into the batter, but any fruit or nuts will work well.

If you love easy, quick and healthy recipes this one if for you to try. You can make the batter in few minutes and each tray will take only about 12 to 15 minutes to bake and can be also stored for 5 days.
