The oat flakes and mixed nuts cookies are delicious treats naturally gluten-free and lactose-free. They take 5 minutes to prepare and are very tasty. The ingredients are few and usually already in the pantry: eggs, honey, extra virgin olive oil, almonds, walnuts and dark chocolate. I chose walnuts and almonds, but you can also replace them with hazelnuts, pistachios, pecans—basically whatever you like and have available. The rolled oats I used are the large ones that I pulsed in the blender to reduce them into smaller pieces but not into flour. If you want a crunchier texture, just leave them whole. For those who cannot consume eggs, you can try the muesli cookies which are also without added sugars, only a little malt. Try also the oat and peanut butter cookies.
