Sivananda Cookies

Years ago when I was living with my mum she always asked me to bake these cookies. We got the recipe from my brother’s yoga centre and it wasn’t until I was living in London and went to a class at the Sivananda yoga centre that I was reminded of these wonderful cookies. The Sivananda yoga centre always has a fresh batch on sale for students to enjoy after class.

These cookies really are delicious and the best part is that they are healthy! They leave you feeling full and nourished. My bf loves these so much he has been known to count how many are left in the container, so he can make sure he isn’t missing out on his fair share!

The base of the cookie is ground oats & nuts and to sweeten them you add sultanas and honey.
