In today's section, I invite all caring housewives to bake not only tasty, but also healthy cookies. Because the main ingredients in baked goods are pumpkin and oatmeal. To taste, you can supplement the products with any dried fruits, candied fruits or nuts. Cookies are prepared quite quickly and simply, and most importantly, they are quite economical. You will spend the very minimum of money on it. It turns out baked goods with a ruddy and crispy crust on the outside and soft pulp inside, while it does not stale for a long time. This invention is not quite like the classic oatmeal cookie. The delicacy comes out with an incredible texture thanks to the added pumpkin.
The composition of this recipe can be changed depending on tastes and preferences. However, one must not forget that the ratio of fat and oat flour or flakes gives the product a delicate and crumbly consistency. Decreasing the amount of oatmeal will make the baked goods brittle, while increasing the amount will make the baked goods firm and dense. This food also serves as a cleaner, because oatmeal contains insoluble fiber. Therefore, these baked goods are good for those who suffer from a poor digestive system. Oats removes harmful substances from the body and promotes bowel movement. It should also be noted that these are low-calorie cookies. Therefore, it is suitable for those who follow a diet and monitor their weight.

Making pumpkin oatmeal cookies
1. Place the oatmeal in a coffee grinder, chopper, or food processor.
2. Grind the flakes and crumble them to the consistency of flour. But you can also use ready-made oat flour.
3. Peel the pumpkin, remove the inner seeds and grate with a grater or food processor. Combine oat crumbs and pumpkin in a mixing bowl.
4. Add sugar to the food. Instead, you can use any jam to taste. It turns out very tasty pastries with pumpkin jam with citrus fruits. Although you can use any we wait, condensed milk and other sweets.
5. Beat in an egg and pour in vegetable oil. Vegetable oil can be replaced with olive oil or melted butter. The latter will increase the calorie content of baked goods.
6. Pour in the brine little by little and knead the dough. Do not pour out all of it at once, so as not to overdo it. The consistency of the dough should be a little thin, but it should be so. Leave it to sit for 15 minutes to allow the oatmeal to swell.
7. Take a portion of the dough, form balls with your palms, which you press down to make a cake and put the product on a baking sheet. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, soak them in water.
8. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the baking sheet to the lower level. Bake the cookies for about 30-35 minutes. If you want it crispier, keep it in the roasting pan for up to 40 minutes. Then let it cool and you can start drinking tea.
