Step 1.
Preheat the oven to around 180 degrees Celsius while preparing two baking sheets. As you prepare the baking sheets, ensure that they must fit rightly into the oven during the baking process.
Once done, gently coat the baking sheet’s surface with oil( while using the pastry brush).
Step 2.
Take a large bowl and first whisk the wet ingredient in the list (vanilla yogurt, eggs, and honey). Once done, gently pour all the dry ingredients into the same mix( oat bran and baking powder).
Keep mixing the ingredients until the mix gets smooth and thick. Ensure that the cookie dough has reached the desired texture and consistency.
Step 3.
Now carefully place the cookie dough into the baking sheets while using a small scoop or spoon. Just in case you want your cookies to be of the same size, go with the scoop and not the spoon.
Once you are placing the cookie dough on the baking sheet, try keeping a space of at least 2 inches between the cookie dough and the baking tray’s edges.
Additionally, you must check the elasticity of the cookie dough while placing it on the baking tray. If it is too elastic, freeze it for around 10-15 minutes before placing it in the oven.
Step 4.
Put the baking tray in the preheated oven ( opt for the middle-lower rack to let the cookies get the right amount of heat). Wait for around 15 minutes or until you see the cookies getting those golden brown edges.
Once done, carefully take out the baked cookies from the oven and let them rest for around 1 minute at room temperature. Your oat bran cookies are ready to be served!
