Healthy (ish) Oatmeal Cookies

My usual recipes are so full of sugar and 'bad' for you things I decided to try my hand at a healthier version of oatmeal cookies. I basically made this recipe up and just went for it, and they came out pretty good!
There is less sugar then the usual cookie and no butter so really, they must be healthier?

The addition of raisins and white chocolate chips add a sweetness, and the natural yoghurt binds the ingredients together along with the egg.



These are not the most 'attractive' looking cookies but we can all overlook that due to them being healthy right? ;)

Ingredients-
  • 100g plain flour
  • 90g caster sugar
  • 100g rolled porridge oats
  • 50g raisins
  • 50g chocolate chips ( I used white)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 50g natural yoghurt
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
Makes 12.

Preheat your oven to 200c and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl mix together your dry ingredients, set aside.

In a large bowl beat together the yoghurt, vanilla extract and the egg. 
To this, gradually add the dry ingredients till it becomes a sticky dough.

As the mixture is quite sticky, just drop tablespoon sized balls of it onto your baking sheet.
Place into the oven for 10-12 minutes, then leave to cool on a cooling rack.
