Citrus is blooming in my garden at the moment, our orange/tangelo tree is fully loaded hence this Orange Choc Chip Oat Cookie recipe.

I also have a grapefruit tree laden with fruit. It's at times like this I wish I liked marmalade.

But back to the matter at hand, back to my new orange choc chip cookies 

I am always a fan of using oats in baking for my kids I just think they are a cheap and nutritious grain. I am also always trying to reduce sugar in the baking I do.

This orange oat cookie recipe is not a no sugar recipe, but it is certainly much lower than most. It has just the perfect amount to keep 100% of the yum factor.

Equipment

  • 2 bowls
  • 1 baking sheet (lined)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick cook oats the finer oat (100g)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar 50g
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2-3 tablespoon regular flour
  • 40 g melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Juice & zest of one orange 50ml juice, 1Tbsp zest
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips chips 40 grams

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F)
  • Mix the dry ingredients:In your first bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir with a spoon or fork until well combined.
  • Whisk the wet ingredients:In your second bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla, orange juice, and zest until smooth.
  • Combine wet and dry:Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. If the batter seems too wet, add an extra tablespoon of flour. (This might vary depending on your egg size or tablespoon measurement—NZ tablespoons are 15ml, while some countries use 20ml.)
  • Add choc chips:Stir in the chocolate chips. Feel free to use a little more if you like—it’s hard to go wrong here! I found 20g was just right for my kids.
  • Shape and bake:Scoop generous tablespoons of dough onto your prepared tray. This batch makes about 12 cookies. Gently shape each with the back of your spoon into rough rounds. They don’t need to be perfect—just a bit flattish, as they’ll spread slightly during baking.
  • Bake at 180°C (360°F) for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool on a rack the serve!
