Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Oaty Cookies

There’s something so comforting about a homemade cookie. These ones lean on whole, nourishing ingredients, almond butter for richness, healthy fats and protein, and dark chocolate with dried cranberries for a little balance of bitter and sweet.

They’re naturally sweetened with honey and come together with just a handful of kitchen staples. Perfect packed into a lunchbox, or kept in a jar for those moments when you want something sweet but still wholesome.

You will need:

• 1 cup oats

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 1/2 cup almond butter

• 1/4 cup honey

• 40g dark chocolate

• 40g dried cranberries

• Pinch of sea salt

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl.

3. Mix everything together until well combined and a thick cookie dough forms.

4. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the tray and gently press them down into cookie shapes.

5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges.

6. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.
