Making Sesame and Banana Cookies

Oats are one of the few grains that naturally contain avenanthramides, powerful antioxidants known for their anti-inflammatory and heart-protective properties. Not only are oats rich in fiber—especially beta-glucan, which helps lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar—they’re also incredibly versatile. From breakfast porridge and baked goods to savory dishes, oats have been a staple in human diets for thousands of years, with evidence of oat consumption dating back to the Bronze Age!

Useful guidelines

Chewier cookies: Slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking tray.
Crispier edges: Flatten the dough more before baking.
Boost flavor: Toast the oats lightly in a dry pan before mixing to enhance their nutty taste.
Add-ins: Feel free to mix in nuts, seeds, or a handful of dark chocolate chips for an extra treat!
Sticky dough? Chill it for 15-20 minutes to make shaping easier.

Directions

Simply follow these steps in order to make (fill in titel):

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
Mix the base: In a bowl, combine the oatmeal, flour, coconut sugar, and butter. Mix until crumbly.

Shape the cookies: Press the mixture into cookie cutter shapes on the baking dish to form an even layer.
Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and slice: Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
