Due to some miss communication amongst the household we ended up with too many boxes of porridge oats. Thankfully this evening, some cookie making solved the problem.
This recipe was made up on the spot, and as a result doesn't make the most amazing tasting cookies you've ever had. But, I thought it might be worth letting you know what was used, so you can rustle some up (if you ever find your self with an over-abundance of oats).
The process is simple, mix the oats with the flour & flax and add the melted butter. Stir.
Add the apple sauce, and keep stirring. In fact, you can't really stir the mixture as it's quite dry and and stiff. Use your hands to make sure the butter is well combined with everything else.
Plonk in some sultanas, raisins, currents or whatever is lying around and mix one last time.
Now all that's left to do is roll the mixture into little balls, cover them with the topping and squash them down into a reasonable cookie shape. Put them in the oven for a few minutes on a high heat and bobs your uncle.
If you have any suggestions for other oat-based cookies please comment!
These would be nice crumbled up with some vanilla ice-cream, think I'll try that now...
