Chewy Sultana Cookies

When I go through my phases of trying to eat well and cut out all bad things, I find myself trying to get around the rules that I've set for myself by finding healthy-ish recipes for cookies, brownies, cakes and just general sweet things that are normally deemed to be unhealthy. Deliciously Ella's website is a good place to start when looking for inspiration. These cookies were just the right size for a little snack and boost of energy, as well as tasting surprisingly good with their soft and chewy texture.

Makes 25 cookies | 5 minutes prep time | 30 minutes cooking time

Ingredients

Coconut oil or butter for greasing

270g oats

4 ripe bananas (about 500g)

3 tbsp honey

150g sultanas

4 red apples (about 550g)

2 tsp cinnamon

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C

2. Grate the apples (no need to peel them) and mash the bananas. Drain the excess liquid from the grated apples using a sieve. Then mix them with all the remaining ingredients in a bowl.

3. Grease a baking tray with coconut oil.

4. Scoop a heaped tablespoon of the mix and pat it into flat cookies shape on the tray, do this until all the mixture has been used. Try to get an even amount of sultanas in each cookie as those that are heavier with sultanas are more likely to burn.

5. Then bake the cookies for about 30 minutes until they turn golden brown, at this point take them out the oven and let them cool slightly.
