Cranberry Walnut Oat Cookies
Travelling on a budget airline recently, I knew the in-flight meals wouldn’t satisfy my cravings for something wholesome and delicious. So, I whipped up these chewy vegan cranberry walnut oat cookies. They’re gluten-free, oil-free, and contain no added sugar – perfect for a nourishing snack on the go.
The combination of sweet bananas, tangy cranberries, and crunchy walnuts creates a delightful texture and flavour. Plus, the chia seed “egg” binds everything together naturally. If you are jet-setting or just need a healthy treat, these cookies are a must-try.
