whole wheat flour cookies – Batter Up With Sujata

Oats Whole Wheat Lemon Cookies With Olive Oil/ Eggless Cookies/ Butter Free Cookies

Oats whole wheat lemon cookies with olive oil. A delicious and vegan lemony cookies with all the goodness of oats whole wheat olive oil and lemon. Some of my readers asked on my Coffee cookies post if they can use oil instead of butter or ghee. So now a cookie without butter or ghee.

I have used olive oil but if you don’t have olive oil, use any flavorless vegetable oil or coconut oil. I have used little powdered sugar to sweetened the cookies. Next time I will try to share some cookies without sugar. Stay tuned. In these cookies 1/4 cup sugar and 1/8 cup desiccated coconut gave enough sweetness. You can also use powdered jaggery or stevia if you want. To make it gluten free use pearl millet flour/bajra atta, almond flour, coconut flour, cornmeal or any other gluten free flour of your choice. This recipe is completely dairy free. But if you want to make buttery cookies for kids then you can use butter instead of olive oil. You may like some more lemon flavored bakes on this blog.

Can’t Stay Out Of The Kitchen

I liked its soft texture. But next time I will make crisp one too. So stay tuned for one more cobbler cookies recipe 😊
I have made large sized cookies because I loved the pictures of original recipe. But if you want to make it crispy make thin cookies. And make smaller size for quick baking.

Recipe

Whole Wheat flour – 1 cup

Oats powder – 1/2 cup

Powdered sugar – 1/2 cup

Mango – 1/2 cup, finely chopped

Unsalted butter – 3 tablespoon

Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon

Vanilla essence – 1/2 teaspoon

For mango yogurt

Curd – 1 cup

Mango puree – 1/2 cup

Sugar – 1 tablespoon

Method

1. Pour the curd on a sieve or fine cloth and keep in refrigerator over a bowl for 3 – 4 hours or overnight to get hung curd or thick yogurt.

2. Now blend this hung curd, sugar and mango puree in a blender.
You will get delicious mango yoghurt.

3. Preheat the oven at 180° for 10 minutes.

4. Grease a baking tray or line with parchment paper.

5. Melt the butter and mix with mango yoghurt, soda, vanilla essence and powdered sugar. Whisk well until combined.

6. Add whole wheat flour, oats powder and chopped mango. Stir with a spatula. And mix to combine everything well.

Notes

1. If you want crisp cookies then make the cookies thin and press lightly with a fork. And add mango yoghurt as much require to make a dough like consistency. By reducing moisture you will get crispy cookies.

2. If you want to make baking time short make small sized cookies.

3. You can make it with only all purpose flour if you want.

4. If you want to serve mango yoghurt as a dessert, after blending taste the sweetness. It depends on the sweetness of mango. Add more if require. You can add a pinch of saffron if you like. Blend again and keep in refrigerator to serve cool.

Eggless oats almond jaggery honey cookies / no butter no sugar cookies.

Want a guilt free snack for your sudden hunger pangs or sweet craving? Yes its totally guilt free and delicious. No butter no sugar. I have used organic jaggery or gur powder and honey.

Thanks to my neighbor Jagjeet Kaur for this organic jaggery powder. She brought it from farm for me.
With so many health benefits jaggery helps to increase the total count of haemoglobin in the blood and it is surprisingly effective as an aid for weight loss. This is because jaggery is a rich source of potassium, which is a mineral that helps in the balance of electrolytes as well as building muscles and boosting metabolism.

Sugarless Dates And Oats Cookies

Sugarless, eggless dates and oats cookies.

May this Ramadan bring joy, health and wealth to you. May this festival brighten up you and your near and dear one’s lives.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. In this month Quran was revealed. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset.
It is a period of prayer, fasting, charity-giving and self-accountability for Muslims.

This week our #Foodiemonday #bloghop theme is #Ramadanspecial.

Eat healthy stay healthy.

I am sharing dates and oats cookies for this bloghop event. I have made this cookies without sugar or any artificial sweetener.
Healthy, yummy and soft cookies.

Dates are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants and the essential minerals potassium and magnesium.

A diet that regularly includes low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like dates may enhance your health and help decrease your chance of developing many chronic diseases.

And oats contains soluble fiber which stays in the stomach longer and helps you feel fuller. This can prevent overeating later on in the day, which may help you maintain a healthy weight and avoid the health problems associated with overweight.

I have added whole wheat flour too because eating whole grains instead of refined grains lower the risk of many chronic diseases.

Recipe

Oats – 1/2 cup ground

Whole wheat flour – 1/2 cup

Dates – 1 cup deseeded and chopped

Ghee/clarified butter – 1/4 cup

Cocoa powder – 1 teaspoon

Baking powder – 1/4 teaspoon

Water – 1 cup

Method

Grind the oats and keep aside.
Boil 1 cup water with chopped dates. When it starts to boil reduce the flame. Cook on low flame until the dates are becomes soft and mushy.
Let it cool.

Now grind the dates. Make a smooth paste.
In a bowl mix whole wheat flour, ground oats, cocoa powder, baking powder and dates paste. If you want your cookies more crispy add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.

Mix with your fingers properly.
Add ghee/clarified butter and make a smooth and semi stiff dough. I have used homemade ghee you can use butter too.

Preheat the oven at 180º.
Grease a baking tray or line with aluminum foil.

Make 16-18 small balls. I have made small bite sized cookies. But you can make large sized too.

Lightly flatten with your palm. Place them on the baking tray. Press every cookies with a fork.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges becomes brown.
After 20 minutes I have turned the cookies upside down and baked for 5 minutes more to bring some colour on upside too. But if you like skip this step. If the edges becomes brown its ready.

Let the cookies cool down and store in a airtight jar.
Enjoy the healthy and delicious cookies with your tea coffee or a glass of milk.

Eggless Malai Or Milk Topping Cookies

Egg less malai or milk topping cookies.
A very easy to make cookie. Perfect for kiddos.

You don’t need baking powder, soda, butter or ghee/clarified butter to make these delicious cookies.

Need only 3 ingredients in equal quantity with little cardamom powder or vanilla. Use the flavour of your choice.
I adopted the recipe from Nita Mehta’s cookbook.

I made one with whole wheat flour and added little red colour to make it attractive.
And white one is made with all purpose flour.

Recipe

Milk topping or malai – 1/2 cup

Powdered sugar – 1/2 cup

Whole wheat flour/atta or all purpose flour/maida – 1/2 cup

Cardamom powder or vanilla – 1/2 teaspoon

Almonds or cashew nuts ( split into two) – as require

Method

Grease an oven tray and keep aside.
Preheat the oven at 200 degrees.

Mix malai and sugar lightly. Sift atta or maida.
Add the maida or atta and cardamom powder or vanilla to the malai mixture.

Add flavour of your choice. I used cardamom powder. Knead lightly to form a soft dough.

Form round balls and flatten slightly. If the dough is too soft and difficult to form balls keep it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes and then shape them.

Place the balls on oven tray 1” apart.
Place almonds or cashew nuts on each cookie. You can sprinkle little cardamom powder on each cookie too. I didn’t.

For red colour cookies added little red colour in the dough. Flatten the dough on a plate to cut hearts with a cookie cutter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Or until the edges of the cookies are golden and the top still whitish.

Remove tray from the oven and quickly and carefully lift the cookies off with all knife. Keep them to cool and become crisp.
Enjoy with tea or coffee.
