Spicy Nutmeg Cookies

KindEARTH/ Anastasia Eden

7 Cookies

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups oats
• 3 tablespoons ground almonds
• 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
• 2 heaped tablespoons raisins
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• ½ small ripe banana
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Measure all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
• Mash the banana, add to the bowl and then mix in roughly.
• Make a small well in the middle of your ingredients; add all the wet ingredients into the well and then mix everything together thoroughly. Use the back of a metal spoon to press down and press into the mixture to help the ingredients combine. Be sure that everything is thoroughly mixed, with no lumps of banana or tahini.
• Shape into golf ball sized balls and then gently flatten into cookie shapes about a ½ to ¾ of an inch thick and carefully place on an oiled baking tray (I use parchment paper). If the cookies crumble while shaping, then just compress them more firmly between your hands.
• Bake in an oven pre-heated 375F for about 15 minutes or until the tops are a very light tan.
• Once baked, carefully place onto a cooling tray and allow to cool before serving. They will crumble if you do not let them cool.
