One of my viewer requested oats cookies recipe, i told her that i have couple of version of cookies which has oats in it. Those are my monster cookies and white chocolate and raisan cookies. But she told me that she want a low fat version of it which she can indulge without any guilty. Yes thats what everyone need right, including me. So i decided to try out this recipe which i found on internet long before.
My goodness you should believe it, it was amazing. Something so healthy like oats could never taste this better. Totally Yum. The cookies turned out so buttery and just melt in your mouth. My sister tried it and told that it is so yummy and just like store bought ones. So give it a try and let me know what you think.

Aarthi
@Supriya DeshmukhYou can double triple the recipe, just bake it for same time and temp
Madhu
Hi aarthi, these cookies tasted so good. But one small question. My cookie mixture came out dry. I can not make the cookies flat, they had broken. So added a tbsp of milk. Is it the right way to add milk when we have dry mixture or need to add more butter? AND Does u cookies turned out soft or crispy? Mine got crispy and crunchy. But taste wise they are pretty good. waiting for our rply...
Aarthi
@MadhuIf your mix is too dry, add in some butter. It will be soft in texture. if you add milk then it will result in a toucgher cookie
Radhu
Hi Aarthi,
Last time i tried your recipe,came out good...but i felt some raw smell of oats...this time am planning to roast the oats..will it affect the taste of the cookies????
Aarthi
@RadhuYes u can roast it
Thazni
Hai Aarthi...tried these healthy cookies and they came out perfect. Kids loved it. I used butter and will there be any difference in taste when using ghee?
Aarthi
@ThazniU will get ghee aroma. But butter can be used as well
Pravallika Rao
Hello Aarthi,
My batter is too thin.i could not make balls. I dnt know where the problem is. I doubt I measured liquid ghee. But anyways its a flop in my kitchen:(
Aarthi
@Pravallika RaoSorry to hear that. You can add more oats and flour and sugar to get the dough right

Aarthi
@Anonymousfor all baking both the coils should be heated. Top coil should be heated only for grilling.

Sheetal Bidkar.
I cooked . I liked it very much .but the surface was very soft.
Sheetal Bidkar.
I want to say that how to get the upper surace crispy.
Aarthi
@Sheetal Bidkar.as it cools the cookies will get hard. If it is too soft then you have baked it less. Bake little more or the ghee or sugar must be more.

Very helpful site. The pictures are specially helpful in understanding how the dough looks.
Suggestion: It would also help if you mention how the dough should feel by touch, sticky, non-sticky, etc.
Question: On my own hunch, I added 1/2 tsp baking powder. But I don't know whether that helped. Can you explain a bit why baking powder is not used in your cookie recipes and what are the pros and cons of using it?
Thanks a lot.
Aarthi
@Anonymous this dough should be tiny crumbly, u have to form balls by pressing it a little.
This has enough butter which gives u crumbly texture

Tried this today and it came perfect! keep up the amazing work Aarti !
Jasleen sethi
Hi. Can i use banans instead of sugar. If yes, then how much? Thanks.
Aarthi
@Jasleen sethino bananas wont work, sugar is needed
Betty
Hi, tried this receipe with a modification. I used only 1 tblspn of wheat flour. They are delicious. The temperature at my place is almost 0 degrees. I dont know if it is for this reason 3 tblspn of atta dint work.
Thank you for sharing eggless receipes. It came in handy for me and i tried few other eggless cakes too. Thank you.
sweety
I tried this recipe today but it didn't turn well like other recipes. It took so much of time still d upper part was so soft but lower part was fine. Can u pls tell me where is d fault?? Also I added extra ghee otherwise it was difficult to form a ball.
Aarthi
@sweetydid u bake with both coils on..or only the bottom one.
sweety
I made it microwave convection mode. I tried many of ur recipes all turned out well but this was a disheartened one. Yesterday I tried 1 min. Molten lava cake n it turned out yum. Hubby loved it.
Aarthi
@sweety oh k..try it once more

Hi Aarthi, thanks for posting this recipe. I'm totally new to baking and loved your recipe for it seems so easy. Wanted to try this out but was wondering if i could use honey or maple syrup to prepare these cookies instead of adding sugar, to make this recipe healthier. If so, what should be the quantity? Also, is the ghee measured post melting?
Aarthi
@Anonymousno u cannot use honey. And ghee quantity before melting
Kusum Kumawat
Thank you so much for the simple yet awesome yummy recipe. I tried making cookies for the first time & it turned out so well that everyone wants more and more of it.

Hi Loved your recipe. Just one question. For how many days can these cookies be kept?
indu shalini
Hi Arathi,
Tried this recipe today and it came out good. I am new to baking and found this easy to do. Thanks for the recipe.
How can it be made a bit more moist? Mine was a bit dry. I used butter. Would it be more moist if I use ghee? Or can the quantity of butter be increased?
Thanks,
Indu
