    Golden Oat Raisin & Almond Cookies

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Healthy baking is all the rage right now, The Great British Bake Off even did a 'free from' themed episode this year which included dairy, gluten and refined sugar free challenges. We're all more aware of what we're eating and we're being told we need to cut down on certain foods. I've always maintained that moderation is important, so it nice to add a healthy element to baked goods where I can. These Golden Oat Raisin & Almond Cookies are packed with wholegrain goodness plus oats, almonds and raisins. A tasty treat with hidden health benefits!

    Step by step...

    I was sent two bags of Marriage's The Master Millers Golden Wholegrain Flour to bake with and I decided to make these cookies with the plain flour. Using wholegrain flour in your baking is an easy way to get more fibre in your diet. Marriage's Golden Wholegrain Flour contains twice the amount of fibre than regular white flour. Current guidelines recommend that we should be eating 18g of fibre per day, and research has shown that only 5% of people in the UK manage to meet this target, so we need all the help we can get!

    I toasted almonds in the oven on a lined baking tray for 5 mins.

    Then I chopped them up into pieces.

    I creamed together butter with soft brown sugar. Then I whisked in vanilla, egg and golden syrup.

    I mixed in oats, baking powder and Marriage's The Master Millers Golden Wholegrain Plain Flour.

    Then I added the chopped almonds along with raisins.

    I used my hands to shape pieces of the mixture into balls which I then flattened down. I put them onto a lined baking tray leaving room for them to spread.

    The cookies baked for about 15 minutes until they were lovely and golden.

    I sent the Golden Oat Raisin & Almond Cookies with my boyfriend to take into work with him as I not only have my own colleagues requesting bakes, I also have his colleagues asking for them too! It's great to have a wide audience of willing volunteers to eat my bakes. The Golden Oat Raisin & Almond Cookies went down really well and I grabbed one when they were still warm, which really is one of the best parts of baking. They were so yummy, I would call these a hearty and comforting bake that makes you feel very homely - if that makes sense!

      These look like the kind of texture i like in a cookie. I actually prefer the healthier flours, they have more flavour!

      Oat biscuits are one of my favourites and I always feel that biscuit or not, they contain lots of good stuff. These ones sound yum!

      mmmm these are calling to the cookie monster in me. Love the combination of oats, raisin, almond and most importantly golden syrup! J's colleagues are always asking for bakes as well as mine and I agree that it's great to have a wide audience to test bakes on. Thanks for entering AlphaBakes.
