Oatmeal cookies, prepared without animal products, are an excellent treat during fasting. Baking is nutritious and healthy.
Lean oatmeal cookies - the basic principles of cooking
To prepare cookies, use cereal or oatmeal. You can cook it yourself. To do this, oatmeal is fried in a dry frying pan, cooled and ground in a blender until flour. In some recipes, the dough is kneaded on cereal and flour, taking them in equal proportions.
Butter is replaced with vegetable fat. All ingredients are combined in a deep bowl and knead the dough. Its consistency should be viscous. You do not need to knead for a long time. Sugar or honey makes sweet pastries.
To make the cookies soft and lush, slaked soda or baking powder is added to the dough. It is left for some time so that the flakes swell.
The taste of baking can be diversified by adding pieces of fruit, nuts or dried fruits to the dough.
Spread the dough on a baking sheet covered with parchment, or form it with wet hands.
Cookies are baked until tender. Before serving, it can be crushed with powdered sugar.
