Oat Cookies
Oats, pepitas and raisins; these perfectly chewy cookies are somewhere between a muesli bar and a bowl of crunchy granola. Great for lunchboxes, great for snacks at work, perfect with a cup of tea when you need a pick me up. This recipe is a winner because you can mix and match - try sunflower seeds and cranberries, chopped almonds and currants, or walnuts and sultanas.
They're easy to make if you have a mix master, but you can make them without one, just use a big bowl, a whisk and a bit of elbow grease.
Go on, there's no need to be unsure! Clean out the pantry and make yourself some treats!
