Monday Christmas Cookie (9) - Oatmeal Cookies

My absolute favorite cookie on the Christmas table and probably the only one I touched this year. The reason is simple - too much fat, eggs, dairy and sugar in all the other sweet treats. I got this recipe from my mum, who always thinks of me when running into a healthy vegan yum.
This year, similarly, her concern was to make her daughter´s face happy and stomach full (overstuffed, mum...), so honestly speaking, I got to appreciate the taste of these little beauties much later after Christmas, when my eating habits got back on track and I actually experienced that previously famous feeling of hunger. Sometimes, on Sunday mornings, when I am not busy with making "pain cakes", I get up a bit earlier to bake some:

OATMEAL COOKIES:
(vločkové sušienky)

• 400 g oatmeals
• 200 g sugar
• 20 g vanilla sugar
• 1 mashed banana
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp warm soy milk
• 100 g raisins
• 100 g almonds
  
• marmalade (to garnish)

Mix the oatmeals with the warm milk and let sit for about 20 minutes or until the milk has soaked into the oats completely. Add the banana, honey, sugars and mix well. Mix in the raisins and chopped almonds. Scoop tablespoons of the mixture onto a baking sheet, press to flatten them and with a help of the top of the spoon, make a round well in the middle. Fill the hole in with the marmalade.
Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy with a cup of morning coffee. Makes a great breakfast on the go!
