Strawberry Oatmeal Cookie Sundaes Recipes

STRAWBERRY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 356F (180C).
• Line the bottom of a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Prepare and measure all ingredients using measuring cups.
• In a small mixing bowl add oats, whole grain flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Use a silicone spatula to mix the dry ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl combine coconut oil with maple syrup, grated ginger and vanilla extract. Use the whisk and mix it until you get the sticky texture.
• Add in the egg, and stir vigorously using the whisk.
• When the batter looks thick and well blended, add in the dry ingredients. Using the spatula mix everything until fully combined.
• Gently fold in strawberries and chopped walnuts using spatula.
• Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Using ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop cookie mixture and place it on a baking sheet. Arrange the cookies 2-inches apart. Slightly flatten the dough and shape cookies with the spoon.
• Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until golden on the edges. Check the cookies regularly and don't over-bake them.
• Leave the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a cookie rack to cool completely.

HEALTHY STRAWBERRY OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs two sides like handles.
• In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, ginger, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until it forms clumps and the dry ingredients are evenly moistened. Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumble mixture, then press the rest into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Scatter half of the strawberries over the crust. Sprinkle the cornstarch evenly over the top, then sprinkle on the lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Scatter on the remaining berries, then the remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs evenly over the top. You will have some fruit showing through.
• Bake the bars for 35 to 40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbly and the crumb topping smells toasty and looks golden. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely (you can speed this process along in the refrigerator).
• While the bars cool, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, briskly whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Feel free to add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired. Using the parchment-paper handles, lift the bars from the pan. Drizzle with glaze, slice, and serve.
