Lenten oatmeal cookies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Lenten cookies from oatmeal? Prepare your food. Flakes are best suited for instant cooking; they are softer and bake better. But if you have traditional ones, then use them, then the cookies will be more textured. It may take a little more or a little less flour, depending on the condition of the dough. Take liquid, natural and high-quality honey. The oil is odorless. If you don't like any spices, then exclude them.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour water and oil into a saucepan. Put honey. Heat the mixture over low heat until the honey dissolves. Add ground spices - cinnamon and nutmeg. Put in soda. Continue heating.

3. STEP 3

   

   With constant stirring, bring the mixture until foam appears, but do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the honey mixture into the cereal and mix well. The heat will soften them a little. If you do not have instant cereal, then leave it to stand like this for 10 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add most of the flour. Add salt. Stir with a spoon. Gradually adding the remaining flour, knead the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   The dough should become quite thick and can be kneaded with your hands. But do not overdo it with flour, the dough should still remain soft.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover a baking tray with baking paper or a special mat. Using your hands, form the cookies into balls. Place them on the paper and slightly flatten them on top.

8. STEP 8

   

   From this quantity of products I got 11 cookies.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bake cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 minutes. Remove the finished cookies from the oven and let cool, covering the baking sheet with a towel. Serve it with tea or compote. Bon appetit!

Good afternoon! Oatmeal cookies 🍪 have always been popular in our family. It is healthy, aromatic and very tasty. And given the fact that children do not always eat oatmeal, oatmeal cookies are a kind of porridge replacement, a healthy snack. Today I decided to try baking plain oatmeal cookies, as an alternative, I usually bake with kefir. First I made the syrup, did not add nutmeg, it has a peculiar burning taste - not for everyone, but added cinnamon. When soda is added, a violent neutralization reaction occurs and a lot of foam is formed, because... honey has an acidic environment, and soda is alkaline, due to this the cookies should turn out crumbly. I have ordinary Altai oat flakes by weight (not instant), so I ground them in a coffee grinder, maybe for this reason I only got half a glass of flour in, not I started trying to mix in all the flour, I thought it would be a bit harsh.... For the given amount of ingredients I added 40 g of walnut kernels, which I did not grind too much so that the taste of the nuts could be clearly felt. The dough turned out elastic and did not stick to your hands. I divided it into equal portions with a spoon, rolled it into balls and formed cookies... The cookies turned out to be a beautiful brownish-golden color, with appetizing cracks, aromatic (honey and cinnamon go well together), the nuts are crunchy. Moderately sweet. Very tasty! Next time I will definitely bake a double portion. From this quantity I got 8 pieces. But I added less flour than indicated. Thanks to the author for the excellent recipe!!!

For me, it’s very lean (I sprinkled powdered sugar on top) and you can feel the flour. Interesting recipe. Thank you.

I pay tribute to the author for so many delicious, yet high-quality recipes. I would like to know if it is possible to replace wheat flour with a gluten-free version?
