Coconut & Oat Cookies

While recovering with a cold and a trapped nerve in my leg, there’s not much you can do than sit on the laptop and maybe bake or cook (well for me anyway) and since we have run out of sweet things in our house (oh the horror) I decided to bake these quick treats…

Here comes the Oaty,slightly chewy coconut cookies, I’m not going to lie and tell you these are super-healthy for you but they can be adapted. I have stuck to the recipe adapted from the Great British Chefs site and added golden syrup into my mix but you can substitute with agave nectar if you wish. Don’t let them bake too long, 15 minutes should do, till they go golden brown but not to dark, they will harden on cooling.

The taste of these cookies are fab, I personally relish the crunchy oaty texture and with coconut being one of my favourite things to eat its a no brainer.. also another great idea would be to crumble over some ice cream or into your yoghurt for an indulgent breakfast!

Coconut Cookies

150g of jumbo rolled oats

100g of plain flour

100g of light brown sugar

100g of desiccated coconut

100g of unsalted butter

2 tbsp of golden syrup

1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda

2 tbsp of water, boiling

.

Once baked, remove and place straight onto a wire rack to cool.

TIP! You can adapt this recipe which I did, by adding a tablespoon of peanut butter into the mix instead of the coconut (plus it will call for about an extra tablespoon of flour) and using maple syrup instead of golden syrup!
