As seen on: Channel 4’s Undercover Doctor: Secrets of Your Big Shop

A healthier alternative to store-bought cookies, which are high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, additives and oils.

Makes approximately 12 cookies

Ingredients:

• 75ml maple syrup or honey

• 60g coconut oil or unsalted butter (or use salted butter and leave out the added salt)

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 90g oats

• 60g whole wheat flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• Pinch salt

• Fresh raspberries

• 50g dark chocolate (>70%)

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees C

• Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper or a silicone mat

• In a large bowl, mix the honey/maple syrup, coconut oil/butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir through the oats and salt and then sift in the wholewheat flour and baking powder

• Stir through the dark chocolate

• You have two options for using the raspberries: 1) crumble them through the cookie dough mixture. Or 2) place a raspberry on top of each cookie

• Spoon the cookie dough onto the lined baking tray to desired size (remember, they will expand!)

• Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden and holding shape but still soft in the middle

• Allow them to cool before eating

• Enjoy!
