Ingredients: 200 g Wheat flour; 100 g Oat flour; 100 g Butter; 50 ml Olive oil; 1 Chicken eggs; 50 g Sugar; 2 tablespoon Honey; 3 g Ground cinnamon; 2 g Ginger powder; 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder; 0.5 teaspoon Cocoa

Not only healthy, but also delicious cookies for tea! Cookies can be baked from almost any set of ingredients. But the question arises how useful they are. I want to eat not only tasty food, but also healthy food. However, most cookie recipes, and even the most delicious cookies, consist of low-health products. As a rule, this is butter, refined sugar, and wheat flour. If these ingredients are completely excluded or replaced with other healthy products, then, unfortunately, the taste of the cookies will change dramatically and not for the better. Therefore, cookies can be made healthier, but at the same time tasty, if you replace some of the unhealthy fats with healthy ones, some of the wheat flour with oatmeal or whole grain flour, reduce the amount of sugar, or replace it with honey, dried fruits, spices, etc.

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

STEP 1
Let's prepare the ingredients for healthy cookies. Butter is healthier than margarine, as it contains less trans fat, but is nevertheless considered not very healthy. Therefore, a third of the butter can be replaced with olive oil, then the cookies will become even healthier. If you replace it completely, the cookies will be dry and not very tasty. Pour olive oil into a bowl, add melted butter and cool to room temperature.
STEP 2
We beat in a chicken egg, it contains useful substances, protein and makes the cookies more tender and softer, so there is no need to exclude it. Replacing some of the sugar with honey, it is also sweet, but also healthy. And to reduce the amount of sugar in the composition, adding spices such as cinnamon and ginger powder will highlight the taste and hide the lack of sweetness in baked goods. Mix the ingredients, you can mix with a mixer.
STEP 3
Add sifted flour. Replace the third part of wheat with oatmeal. It will make the cookies healthier, but replacing only part of the wheat flour will not change the texture of the cookies; they will be crumbly and airy. Add baking powder; this ingredient cannot be called harmful, but it plays a big role in obtaining airy and tasty cookies.
STEP 4
Mix the dough. It should turn out elastic and smooth, wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
STEP 5
Make a long sausage from the dough, cut it into pieces the size of a nut. We make balls out of them.
STEP 6
To make the cookies tastier and more beautiful, you can dip each ball in a sprinkle of a small amount of sugar, cocoa and cinnamon. It will turn out more flavorful.
STEP 7
Place the cookie dough on a greased baking sheet. Place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake for about 25 minutes.
STEP 8
Take out the rosy and fragrant cookies. Let it cool slightly and serve with tea, coffee, cocoa or milk. Bon appetit!

What I liked most about the recipe was the range of spices. A dizzying aroma! I will offer a version of chocolate oatmeal cookies with cocoa.

To make “healthy homemade oatmeal cookies,” I measured out all the ingredients listed on the scale, mixed them and placed the resulting dough in the refrigerator. Perhaps I overdid it with cinnamon, because my dough turned out to be much darker in color than in the author’s photo. At the same time, it is elastic and pleasant to work with. I dipped each cookie in a mixture of sugar and cocoa before baking. The cookies turned out crumbly and moderately sweet. Interestingly, its taste became more expressive the next day - oat notes began to be felt. The taste that the cookies had immediately after cooling is quite difficult to describe - not only oatmeal was clearly not evident, but also cinnamon, ginger, cocoa, apparently somehow neutralized each other and did not create a single flavor range. There were a lot of cookies, they were crispy and crumbly. My kids loved these cookies, but next time I would skip the spices in the dough and the cocoa in the dusting to go with the sweet oat flavor of a healthy homemade cookie.
