Cookie hankering? Got 15 minutes to spare? Perfect.
Oats, dessicated coconut, milk, dates. No flour, no eggs, no butter. Let's face it, they're practically porridge!
Oats for slow release energy instead of instant-energy-rapid-energy-slump plain flour, and dates for chunks of sweetness that contribute to your 5-a-day.
These little beauties pack up nicely in your lunchbox for a cheeky mid-afternoon pick-me-up!
