Oat & Coconut Cookies

These are great because they are made in less than 5 minutes, baked in 10 and you probably have most of these ingredients in your cupboard. They make 9 - the perfect quantity for one baking sheet. An amazing post workout snack with a glass of milk...or afternoon snack with a cup of black stuff.

I tried these out with coconut oil instead of butter for those of you who may be vegan or lactose intolerant. Whilst is did work the cookies will have a much more crumbly texture and held together more loosely. Personally, I would recommend the butter otherwise.
