Easy Peasy Oat Cookies

Easy Peasy Oat Cookies

I’ve been saving up this oat cookie recipe so that we can bake it together. I love it because it’s really idiot proof (you can call me an idiot. But yes idiot proof is for me. No complicated stuff please!)

It doesn’t contain the normal salt and sugar and horrendous amount of butter. The base ingredients are banana and oats. I used the instant oats. You can add dried fruits. I added some raisins and had the intention to add other fried fruits in the fridge. But it’s mission impossible to chop up the dried fruits while carrying 小小宝贝, so we made do with just raisins.

It’s so easy that even a 3.5 year old can do it. That’s 小宝贝 mashing up the bananas and mixing the oats and raisins.

The result of her relentless mashing. She was pretty neat with it and everything remained in the bowl.

I helped her scoop them up into little balls and placed them on the greased baking tray.

宝贝 is a true blue carbo baby. She loves noodles, rice, bread, pasta ….. All the energy giving but non nutritious stuff. Much to the delight of the older folks. They think that I starve her by giving her little rice and loads of veggie, meat, fruits etc. *roll eyes* A starving toddler at 14.7kg at one month short of 3 years old?! You must be kidding me.

Anyway she’s more inclined to eat something that she’s made so here’s something simple n fun for breakfast.

Rainbow Crackers

2 pieces of wholemeal high fibre crackers
1 slab of cream cheese. (she loves the cow brand – whatever you call it)
Lots of dried fruits like cranberries (you can vary them because of their colours)
Lots of dried nuts and seeds (almond, macadamia, pumpkin seeds etc)

Spread a thick layer of cheese on the crackers. Let her decorate the crackers with the colourful fruits and nuts. Easy peasy. Simple to make and prepare. She gets to prepare it creatively and the best thing is… Because she prepared it, she usually eats it all up without much persuasion or coercion!
