Chocolate Oat Cookies
Oats have been enjoyed across many cultures as porridge which makes a great warming breakfast during winter, however oats are so versatile and can be used in a range of different recipes. Oats contain fiber, protein, B vitamins, iron, manganese, selenium, phosphorus, zinc and potassium just to name a few. Oats are often renowned for being able to lower cholesterol levels due to their high fiber content, in particular a fiber known as beta-glucan. If you are a Coeliac like me, purchase the gluten free oats available at most health food stores.

  • You can replace chocolate with additional add-ins such as; nuts, seeds, dried fruit or anything else that takes your fancy.
