About the Ingredients

Oats: I’m using organic jumbo oats here. You can use any oats you have, it will change the texture slightly but you should have similar results. I blended half of the oats in a food processor to make the mixing easier and to add another texture. When I use rolled or porridge oats I skip this stage.

Nut Butter: I’m using my very own peanut butter. Almond butter works very well too but you can use any nut butter you prefer. Doing your own nut butter it’s so easy and rewarding. You only need one ingredient a bit of time and love.

Linseeds: I’m using golden linseeds, but any type of linseed will work here. I like the golden colour they add to the cookies. Linseeds or Flaxseeds are a super food, they have been shown to help with inflammation and help prevent cancers and diabetes. I add them to my oatmeal in the morning and in everything I can.

Optional add-ons: You can add Goji Berries, Chocolate Chips, chopped dates or some warm spices like Cinnamon, Nutmeg, ground Ginger or Cardamom.
