Guilt free Lemon Oat Cookies

Time: 30 minutes prep, 15 minutes cook
Servings: 12
 

Directions

  1. Put the diced apple with the honey in a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until soft enough to mash and the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the oats, almonds and baking powder in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, mash the banana, then mix in the mashed apple, oil, lemon juice and zest.
  4. Pour into the dry mixture and combine well. Create 10-12 two-inch cookie shapes from the mixture, placing them on a lined baking tray. Top each cookie with the grated lemon rind if desired.
  5. Bake at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes. They should still be slightly soft when done.
