This recipe I found on the interwebs and set out to the supermarket here in Manila to get it happening - the original recipe called for hazelnuts but I didn't realise until I got home, that in fact I had bought walnuts.. oops. but they still taste great!
What I like about this recipe is because I'm kitchen-aid-less (sob) these don't require a mixer and it's pretty simple to put together. Of course these aren't really lunchbox treats but are great for afternoon tea or weekend treats - I put most of mine in the freezer in a ziplock bag for when I get that chocolate hankering... as you do.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup nutella
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups plain flour
3 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 190 degrees c
In one bowl mix the oil, nutella, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl add the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarb soda, walnuts (or hazelnuts) and choc-chips..
Pour the wet ingredients into dry. Mix well with a spoon.
Spoon onto greased baking trays
Bake for 12 minutes, leave to cool on trays then transfer to cooling rack to completely cool.
Don't they look yummy? They taste surprisingly not-so-bad for you - I think that's the oats..

The oats, yes, they make it a healthy (kinda) snack.

Nutella goodness! I want to try this out aswell. Thanks for the recipe! :)
Looks great!!!
I will try to change the Nutella for Dulce de leche, which is something similar to peanut butter but without any peanut, here in Argentina. Because the Nutella is insanely expensive here and I will make the cookies for too many people.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
Oh boy, yummo!!
I agree, sometimes you just need chocolate! Seems like you made a wise choice there.
