Franky’s Carob Cookies

not so pretty, but oh so tasty!

Franky and the boys hit the kitchen yesterday afternoon, while I took some yummy mummy time out at yoga.

I returned home to the beautiful smell of freshly baked cookies, yum! I was so impressed by his tasty treats, I thought I would share…

Ingredients;

• Half a cup of plain flour (you could also use a gluten/wheat free alternative)
• Half a cup of Carob powder
• Half a cup of butter (or a dairy-free butter substitute)
• Half cup of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 and a quarter cup of raw oats
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• Half a cup of raisons

In a blender, mix the raisons and vanilla essence, then put aside.

Then blend all the dry ingredients together to create a smooth flour, including the oats.

Then place the dry and wet ingredients together in a bowl and mix well.

Franky simply spoons out desert spoon quantities onto a baking tray, which gives them a rough look. You could pretty them up if you wanted, however the mix is quite moist, so I don’t think you’d be able to roll out like standard cookie dough.

Place in a pre-heated oven, approximately 170 degrees centigrade and cook for about 20min, or until they are firm to the touch.

The cookies should be nice and moist inside and melt in your mouth… scrumptious!
