How to make Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies
To make these cookies, simply start by whisking together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until smooth and combined. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined, then gently fold in the blueberries. Don’t worry if some start to break up.
TIP: If you find your dough too dry or crumbly to work with, add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until it becomes more manageable.
Roll the dough into 1.5oz balls, and place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 – 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

Hi! Can these cookies be frozen after they’re baked?

I don't recommend it. Cookies stay fresh, kept in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 1 week, but I always recommend storing the cookie dough balls instead. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen.
Hope this helps!

Very tasty and good with tea. However, I found the dough to be far too dry - more like granola than cookie dough. I added quite a lot of milk (sorry, I didn't measure the amount but it was around half a milk jug) to be able to work it but it was still pretty stiff and didn't flatten out when baked. I added 5 minutes to the baking time and the dough was still raw in the middle. I'm not sure what else I should have done. I see some people have added applesauce to the mix which sounds like it might do the job. It definitely needs more liquid.

First time to make this. I used normal oats but gave it a blitz in a processor, cut the blueberries into half(I didn't like bursting blueberries in my oven) Great for kids to mask the sight of oatmeal. PERFECT!!

Hi! Your cookies look wonderful! I need them sugar free. Can I sub in almond flour and use Monk fruit white and brown sugar substitute? Really hope so!

Sure! You may need more or less almond flour depending on how the dough is.
