When I’m craving something sweet but still nourishing, these healthy oat cookies with dried fruit and nuts are my go to treat. Packed with crunchy peanuts, rich hazelnuts, and chewy cranberries, they’re everything I want in a wholesome snack. No flour, no butter, no refined sugar just pure texture, flavor, and natural goodness in every bite. These cookies come together fast and make the kitchen smell like a rustic bakery. They’re the perfect mix of hearty and indulgent.
Ingredients :
• 200 g peanuts (7 oz)
• 60 g hazelnuts (2 oz)
• 30 g pumpkin seeds (1 oz)
• 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 30 g dried cranberries (1 oz)
Directions :
1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
2: Chop the Nuts
In a food processor, pulse the peanuts and hazelnuts until finely chopped not ground into a powder, but evenly broken down.
Transfer the chopped nuts into a large mixing bowl.
3: Mix the Seeds and Fruit
Add in the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and dried cranberries.
Use a spoon or your hands to mix everything together until it’s evenly combined.
4: Shape the Cookies
Using your hands, scoop out a portion of the mixture and gently press it into a small cookie shape.
Place each cookie on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
If needed, lightly press the tops to flatten slightly.
5: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on top and fragrant.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before moving them to a rack to cool completely.
Clean Ingredients Real Energy.
These cookies aren’t just snacks they’re fuel. I make a batch at the start of the week and grab one or two when I need something quick and sustaining. Unlike store bought bars that come with added sugars and fillers, these cookies give me steady energy thanks to their fiber, healthy fats, and natural sweetness from the dried fruit. And because they’re flourless, they stay light without sacrificing satisfaction.
