"I’ve never been one to go all out for breakfast. When I wake up, all I need is my coffee and a little something to munch on - preferably sweet but not overly indulgent, and definitely on the healthier side. I stumbled upon this recipe during my second pregnancy while on the hunt for a morning meal that wouldn't leave me feeling queasy or trigger heartburn.
Over the years, I’ve turned into a pro at whipping it up, fine-tuning the ingredients until I found my perfect combo.
Now, I love sharing this breakfast ritual with my daughter, who enjoys getting in on the action and helping me prepare it.
They smell fantastic, look gorgeous, and best of all? They’re a breeze to make!
The Recipe inspired by the blog "eshetstyle"
What you need:
2 cups fine oats - 360g
5 tbsp self-rising flour (optional) - omit for a crispier version
1/4 cup brown sugar - use more if you like it sweet
1 egg
3/4 cup vegetable oil - I use sunflower seed oil, not olive because I don't like the olives aftertaste in the cookies
1 tbsp date syrup - can be replaced with honey or maple
1 tbsp tahini - a must-have for me in every vegetarian kitchen. Check out my list of kitchen hacks & essentials to learn more about how I use it
Added ingredients for taste:
Handful of cranberries
Pumpkin seeds
Sunflower seeds
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
Handful of white chocolate chips
A note from me to you:
Feel free to modify the added ingredients for taste according to preference.
Few ideas: a cup of tahini or other types of spreads, cinnamon, sesame seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, dried fruit (is you add raisins, it's important to cut them beforehand as they swell up and break the cookie), white chocolate chips (my favorite), almonds or other types of nuts.
What to do:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Add the ingredients of your choice.
Shape into balls with wet hands and flatten, or use a cookie cutter.
The dough will be sticky, make sure you mix well.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 180°C for 15-25 minutes, depending on your oven.
Let cookies cool completely before storing. Enjoy with your morning coffee!
