50g low fat spread 125g caster sugar (or low calorie sweetener like Canderel) 1 large egg, beaten 50g plain flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder 175g porridge oats (large unrolled oats) 125g raisins (if you don‘t like raisins you could use chopped dates or apricots) 2 tbsp sesame or pumpkin seeds
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
In a large bowl, beat together the low fat spread and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the beaten egg and mix well together. Next, sieve the flour, salt and baking powder into the bowl and mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
Next add the oats, raisins and seeds and mix well. The mixture should be quite thick by this point.
Grease two baking trays and place a tablespoon of the mixture in lines on this. Leave around 4 cms between each piece of the mixture.
Bake the biscuits in the pre-heated oven for around 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have taken on a nice golden brown colour all over.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for a few minutes. Then remove from the baking sheets onto wire racks to cool.
We hope you enjoy this healthy low fat recipe.
