Low Fat Orange Oaties Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180 C / 160 C (fan assisted) / gas 4.
• Grease a large baking sheet
• In a large bowl, mix the margarine/butter and sugar together until soft, then beat in the honey (using an electric whisk makes it quick and easy!)
• Add the egg and cinnamon powder and mix well
• In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, oats and raisins and mix together before adding to the butter mixture.
• Drop heaped dessertspoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden
• Remove them from the oven, they should be golden but will still seem a tiny bit soft to the touch. Leave them on the tray for a minute (this lets them settle slightly) before transferring them to a cooling tray to completely cool. Store in an air tight container or (if you're anything like me) dive straight in!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Put the honey and orange juice in a small pan and simmer over a low heat for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and syrupy.
• Put the oats, flour, sugar and orange rind into a bowl. Mix the baking soda with 1 tbsp boiling water and add to the flour mixture, together with the honey and orange syrup. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Place spoonfuls of the mixture on to the prepared baking sheets, spaced slightly apart and bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
