Easy & Eggless Almond Meal & Oats Cookies

‘Make hay when the sun shines’ And I did the same with the surplus almond meal I had. Baked almond & Oats cookies with it    with the extra almond flour left after my first stint with the macarons . And I am in love with these healthy, chewy and nutty cute cookies with my hot chocolate drink in morning breakfast.

Almond meal Flour: Wash the almonds and pat dry them using a kitchen napkin. Blend them into a coarse powder in a blender.

I used the fine powder from the ground almonds in making the Macarons here.

Ingredients;

1/2 cup of Almond meal
1/2 cup of Oats
1/4 cup of Wholewheat flour
1/4 cup of honey
1 or 2 tbsp of curd/yogurt
Almond essence

Method: Grind the almonds and oats together in a blender. Take a big mixing vessel and add ground almonds & oats into it. Add rest of the ingredients except the curd and mix well.

Add just a little quantity of curd and mix it to make a dough. The dough should just hold together when pressed slightly. Avoid adding too much of curd to make crisp cookies.

Cover the dough in a cellophane wrap and refrigerate it for 3-4 hours.

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Grease a parchment paper or baking sheet.

Take out the dough from the refrigerator. Make small balls from the dough and flatten with palm to make a flat cookie. Arrange all the cookies on the parchment paper leaving a gap of 2-3 inches.

Bake the cookies at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes or till the sides start getting brown in color. Take out the baking tray from the oven, the cookies will look very soft to touch at this stage, but will firm up soon after a couple of minutes.

Store the Almond & Oats cookies in an airtight container to retain the crispiness.

Notes;

Use powder sugar if you do not like honey. 1/2 cup of powder sugar will be good for these cookies (increase the curd when using powder sugar).
Reduce the honey even further if you do not like sweet cookies for breakfast, which I did and am liking it.
These Almond & Oats cookies are a good addition for your kids snack box to school, with health benefits of almonds & oats in it.

I have received and am still receiving many wholewheat entries from all of the lovely bloggers out there for WWC, but have not contributed mine to the event yet. This post goes to WWC Wholewheat in Breakfast on Lite Bite.
