Chocolate Chunk Oat Cookies

2up_2 Hello again Toodles Noodles readers, it’s Lydia from Lydia Bakes here again bringing you another yummy recipe. These cookies are an absolute favourite in our house. Everyone I’ve shared the recipe with has kept it as their go-to cookie recipe, once you taste them you’ll know why. The cookies are delicious and chunky, with a bittersweet chocolately kick. The best part is they’re made with oats so they’re filling too! Chocolate Chunk Oat Cookies Recipe by Jo Seagar Ingredients: 250g Butter, softened 3 T Sweetened Condensed Milk 3/4 C Sugar 1 1/2 C Flour 1 1/2 C Rolled Oats 1 t Baking Powder 200g Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped (I use Whittaker’s 50%) Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line two baking trays with baking paper. Beat butter for about 30 seconds then add the sweetened condensed milk and sugar. Beat until light and creamy. Sift in the flour and baking powder then throw in the oats and chopped up chocolate. Mix together until nicely combined then roll heaped tablespoons full of mixture into balls and place on baking trays. Flatten with a fork (I love the look that gives them!) and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool cookies on wire racks and then try not to eat them all at once, believe me, you'll want to! 2up_1 Chocolate Chunk Oat Cookies IMG_6304 (1280x853)

Hello lovely Toodles Noodles readers, it’s Lydia from Lydia bakes here, thank you so much for having me today! I am honoured to be guest blogging for the lovely Liora. A while back a decided to do the Paleo diet to get my health and fitness where I wanted to be. It was great but some things I found challenging, like baking.
These muffins were my go-to Paleo treat. The best part is they’re simple to make (no tricky ingredients) and you can freeze them and eat whenever needed. Oh and they taste great too, which is an added bonus for healthy muffins! They may look savoury, but don’t be fooled they’re actually sweet! I loved eating them warm with almond butter, delicious!
