One Bowl, Easy Oat Cookies
This recipe does not make the best oat cookies in the whole world, they are good, but they are not the best.
These biscuits are kind of a dumbed down version of the fruity oatmeal cookies we shared last year. These are not as fancy, or fruity, but what they lack in awesomeness they totally make up for in ease of baking.
These oat cookies are simple.
These are ‘throw it all in the bowl and mix’ cookies.
They are quick and easy to make with no worrying about apple puree or if the kids ate all the cranberries.
They are great school lunch biscuits and as an added bonus, the dough also freezes well in cookie sized lumps. They are still full of cinnamon-ey goodness and they have oats in them so they must be healthy right??

Sometimes you just have to go with simple and good over fiddly and perfect… Can you relate?
Oh I can so relate! Quick and simple recipes that are good in lunch boxes and easy to make with children helping (or hindering as the case may be) are an essential staple!
It’s funny, my 11 year old was just asking on the weekend if we could make oatmeal biscuits. But since he asked as I was making a banana cake with my 6 year old, I said no, maybe later. I think I will give him this recipe this afternoon and see if he wants to have a go at making them himself :)
