      Line a tray with baking paper.

    4. Step 4

      Roll mixture into balls (about a tablespoon per ball) and place on baking tray. Press each ball to flatten slightly.

    Tips

    • You can make this recipe into muesli bars. Follow steps 1-3. Place mixture into a lined slice tray. Press to flatten with your fingers. Cook for 30 minutes. Cool in pan then slice.
    • This recipe can be frozen. Place frozen cookie in your child’s lunch box and it will defrost.
    • Use any dried fruit you like in place of the craisions, diced dried apricots work well.
    • You can also make these into bliss balls, just replace the oil with 1 teaspoon of cocoa and use only 2 bananas.  Mix and roll into balls. Instead of baking set and store in fridge.
