Sourdough Breakfast Treats (Printable Version)

Tasty breakfast cookies combining oats, seeds, spelt flour, and sourdough discard. Simple enough for busy mornings or prepping ahead.

# Ingredients:

01 - 100g starter made from sourdough
02 - 200g quick oats, rolled
03 - ½ tablespoon of baking powder
04 - 80g freshly ground spelt flour (whole grain)
05 - 40g natural honey
06 - 100g butter (or a plant-based alternative)
07 - 100g soft, brown sugar
08 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
09 - 25g ground flaxseed
10 - 25g toasted sesame seeds
11 - 25g sunflower seeds
12 - chocolate chips, use if wanted

# Steps:

01 - Set your oven temperature to 350°F (or 180°C) and wait for it to heat up.
02 - In a big bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and seeds.
03 - Cube the butter, then stir it and the sourdough starter into the dry mix. Blend everything until smooth.
04 - Roll the dough into about 22 small balls. Put them on a baking sheet, leaving space in between. Press each ball down gently with your hand.
05 - If you're using chocolate chips, sprinkle some on top now.
06 - Let them bake for 12 minutes or so, until the edges turn lightly golden. Once the cookies look crispy, they're done!

# Notes:

01 - Dough spreading? Chill it in the fridge for half an hour before shaping.
02 - Great for using up refrigerated sourdough scraps.
03 - Regular butter can be swapped with vegan butter.
04 - They'll stay fresh for about 5 days if you keep them in a sealed container.
