Today I am sharing the recipe of “Homemade Oats and Dry Fruits Cookies”. This is a recipe that I learned from my badi bhabhi ji (Smt. Savita ji Gattani). She is a super talented home chef who has created many new recipes with nutritious ingredients. All her recipes are healthy with a burst of flavors. Of course, she cooks with so much love and affection for the whole family that every recipe tastes better when she cooks them😃. Earlier, I had shared her Chikoo Ice Cream recipe. Recently, she made Sitaphal Ice Cream at home and we all loved it! I will share that recipe some other day.
Oats and dry fruits cookies are incredibly tasty, healthy and nutritious and are filled with the goodness of wheat flour (atta), oats, nuts, seeds and berries; and these cookies are sweetened with natural ingredients such as jaggery, dates, dried figs and honey.
These cookies are a great replacement to the expensive “granola bars” that are available in the market. These homemade oats and dry fruits cookies are soft, crunchy and chewy and are perfect for healthy snacking.
The recipe is very easy and anyone can bake these super yummy cookies.

Preparation –

- Coarsely powder almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds in a mixer.
- Deseed dates and finely chop-and-mash them.
- Finely chop figs, cranberries, blackberries, and raisins.
Method –
- In a deep plate, take wheat flour and oats, add coarsely powdered almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
- Now add chopped raisins, blackberries, cranberries, figs and dates.
- Add butter, jaggery powder, and honey.
- Mix the mixture properly. Then add 2 tbsp milk and mix it evenly until everything becomes a little crumbly.
- Now take some mixture in your palm and press it tightly (like a patty). If it holds the shape, the mixture is ready to make cookies and if it does not hold together, add some more milk.
How to shape the cookies
- Take approximately 1 tbsp mixture and shape cookies as desired.
- Grease the baking tray and arrange cookies in it, leave a little space in between.
How to bake oats and dry fruit cookies-
- Preheat convection oven to 180 degrees with the lower rack in it.
- Once the oven is preheated, keep the cookies tray in it and bake it for 20 minutes.
- Do the toothpick test after 20 minutes. If the dough sticks to the toothpick, bake cookies again for 3 to 4 minutes.
- If you want some extra crunch in cookies, then adjust the temperature of convection to 150 degrees and bake cookies for five more minutes.
- Once done, take out the tray from the oven and allow it to cool down.
- Healthy and deliciously soft, crunchy and chewy homemade oats and dry fruits cookies are ready to enjoy with family and friends.
- After cookies cool down completely, store them in an airtight container.
Looks and sounds very tasty. Though everything you make is very yummy, will tell you how it tastes after tasting it 😀

Hi..I tried making these cookies. Problem is that in ingredients it says baking soda and in preparation it says baking powder. I used baking powder but the cookies came out very dry. Also milk that is mentioned is too less for binding this. I used twice the quantity but it was still less.
Hello Abhipriya,
Sorry, it is just a typing mistake, I have used baking soda, thanks for pointing out my mistake.
I have used milk only to bind the ingredients, after adding milk the mixture should look like crumble but should hold shape, if necessary increase little milk.
