Deliciously Ella's Orange & Cardamom Cookies

These are a great staple to have in the house. They’re not especially indulgent or impressive, instead they’re moreish oaty bites that sate an afternoon sweet tooth or a post-dinner snack attack. The mix of orange, lemon, cardamom and cinnamon creates depth of flavour, while the honey and raisins add a perfect sweetness. Try smothering in nut butter for a delicious snack.

Total Time

Ingredients
3–5 cardamom pods, to taste (depending on how strong you want the flavour)
300g of oats
6 tbsps of honey
Finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed lemon, plus juice of ½ lemon
Finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed orange, plus juice of ½ orange
2 tbsps of chia seeds
3 tbsps of coconut oil, melted
2 tsps of ground cinnamon
6 tbsps of plant-based milk
40g of raisins
Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Line a baking tray with baking parchment.

Step 2

Use the flat side of a knife to crush the cardamom pods. Once each opens, take the seeds out and grind in a pestle and mortar.

Step 3

Place 200g of the oats into a food processor and whizz for 30 seconds or so, until they form a flour.

Step 4

Place the ground cardamom and ground oats in a large bowl and add all the remaining ingredients, not forgetting the remaining 100g of whole oats. Stir well until a nice sticky mix forms. It should be damp, rather than wet or runny.

Step 5

Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mix into your hand, roll it into a ball, then place it on the prepared tray and flatten it down. Repeat to make 10–12 cookies.

Step 6

Bake for 20–25 minutes. Leave on the tray until cold, so they firm up, then serve.
