‘’When pure sincerity forms within, it is outwardly realized in other people’s hearts’ – Lao Tzu
This cookie is a spiced version of an oatmeal and raisin cookie. I’m using golden raisins, cinnamon, turmeric, pepper, ginger and cardamom. The banana and almond butter act as a binder and give added richness and sweetness.
It’s can be used as a healthy breakfast biscuit as it is practically spiced cookie granola.
The seeds and oats are grounding and provide healthy nutrients and omegas. Feel free to switch in your own spice mix and seed mix. I’m in love with Hemp seeds at the moment so don’t be suprized to see it in multiple recipes.
