There's still a hefty bit of sugar in these but for the most part, they're pretty healthy. On a side note, I love google-ing healthy baking recipes, clicking on the site, reading the headline "HEALTHY XXXX" and the first ingredient is 2 cups white sugar. For shame! One in particular I looked up today (for the next post) was on a fitness site! oi!
Anyway, enough ranting and on to the recipe!
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup jam (I used raspberry and peach. Use anything you have around)
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped nuts or dried fruit
Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir to mix. Add the jam, water and vanilla extract. Stir to mix well. If batter is too dry (mine was) add more jam, more water or a little milk, if you wish. It needs to be stiff but pliable, like standard cookie dough.
Stir in the fruit or nuts.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Flatten each slightly if you wish.
Bake at gas 4/275 F for 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on the pan 1 minute, as they will be too gooey to move when they first come out of the oven. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
