Delicious Oatmeal Cookies with chocolate chips, chia seeds and walnuts

                                          

Ingredients :

--------------------

2 1/2 cups oats (i used 3 sachets of maple flavored and 3 sachets of peach flavored oats)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond milk

1/3 cup dry shredded coconut
1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prep your baking tray by buttering it or line it with parchment paper.

                                     

In a large mixing bowl add eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, canola oil ,almond milk and mix them well till they are incorporated. Then add oatmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, and mix until the dough is moist and all the ingredients are combined. The dough will be crumbly. Mix in the chocolate chips,walnuts,dry shredded coconut and chia seeds.

                                         

Using your hands make desired size balls of the dough and place them on the baking tray and bake them for 10 to 12 minutes.

                                            

Remove the cookies from baking tray and place them on wire rack for the cookies to cool down. 

                                            

Delicious and healthy oatmeal cookies are ready to enjoy. These cookies are crunchy outside and chewy inside.

Note:
---------
1) Add half the almond milk initially. If the dough is dry then add rest of the almond milk.

2) If the dough is feels wet keep the dough in the refrigerator for few minutes and then you will be able to easily make the dough balls.

3) Store the cookies in airtight container.

Healthy Diet Food Event - Healthy Juices

I am back with guest hosting a wonderful Healthy Diet Food Event started by Priya of Priya's Versatile Recipes and the theme for this month is Healthy Juices.All of us enjoy juices and particularly during summer juices give instant nourishment to our body.Instead of going for artificial flavored juices,it is always good to drink the natural homemade  fruit and vegetable juices that provide us with lots of natural vitamins,minerals and fiber.

Healthy juices can be made just with a single fruit or a single vegetable/greens or in combination of fruits and vegatables.There are no added salts or sugars in them.When kids are introduced to healthy juices at a young age they too would learn and love to enjoy them.
