Strawberry & Oat Cookies

I picked up a kilo of beautiful local strawberries the other day for $5 - winning! They were “seconds”, but pretty much perfect to me. We ate lots as they were, but I also did some baking. Including creating these sweet pink cookies 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
• ⅔ cup coconut yogurt
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 egg 
• 1 ripe banana
• ⅓ cup coconut sugar
• 2 cups oat flour
• 1 cup oats
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions 

1. Heat the oven to 180 C. Prepare a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine egg, banana, lemon juice, yogurt, salt, baking powder, baking soda, coconut sugar and oat flour.
3. Blend until ingredients are fully combined then transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and carefully fold in the strawberries and oats.
4. Use a small dessert spoon to drop a heaped spoonful of batter onto the prepared baking tray.
5. Bake 15 minutes until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to brown.
6. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Keep cookies in a container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
