Uncookies
Get your sweet-treat fix in just 20 minutes – and without even turning the oven on – with these “uncookies”, so called
because they don’t require any cooking. With an oaty nut butter base, they make a healthier, energy-boosting grab-and-go
bite. Choose one of my flavour combos – funfetti, Smarties or triple-choc chip – or make a batch of each one for a party spread

Step by step
How to store
Store the uncookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Combine the oats and flaxseeds in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt.
- Next, add the syrup or honey, followed by the remaining ingredients for your chosen flavour. Mix well to combine; leave to rest for 5 minutes.
-
Scoop the mixture into roughly 30g portions then roll each one into a ball with damp hands (this helps stop them from being too sticky). The uncookies are ready to eat straight away, or see our tip above for storage instructions.
Use gluten-free oats and check that any sprinkles (or other additions) are vegetarian, if required.
