Orange chocolate chip oats cookies

March 29, 2016 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

How was your Easter weekend? Did you travel somewhere or stayed home relaxing? My one was quiet and peaceful and unlike the last one when I traveled to Italy, this one was spent at home. I even didn’t do much baking this time but I did bake a pretty Braided sweet Easter bread that is kind of a must for that day for me. That or ‘Pinca’, traditional Croatian Easter bread that I made last year (recipe here). I also of course dyed the Easter eggs using onions skins and they turned out really pretty dark brown/red color. I am sorry I didn’t post anything special for Easter, I did have plans but just life got in the way. This time in the form of nasty gastro virus that made me really really sick for 3 days, just in those days before Easter. Oh my, never had something like that before, I was so sick I even had to call an ambulance and it was not very pleasant that it happened in the middle of the night and when I was alone at home. But anyway, that’s now behind me, another thing that makes you stronger once it’s done. So rather than talking about that, let’s talk about cookies! 🙂
This is before baking…

And this is after…

I knew I wanted to make a recipe for cookies with orange + chocolate combination as it was always one of my favorite. it did take me three times to get them right but now I have a recipe that I love and that for sure I’ll be making over and over again. Besides the taste, one great thing about these cookies is their smell! Believe me, they smell amazing! Specially when they are in the oven but also when you open that cookie box…
Recipe is very simple and you only need few basic ingredients, I used dark chocolate as for me orange & dark chocolate go so well together but if you prefer, you can use milk chocolate. Oh and because the recipe asks for orange zest, you should use an organic, untreated orange. So, let’s get to the recipe…

Author: Lili Basic Capaccetti
Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 24 - 26 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups oats
  • 1.5 cups wholewheat flour (or spelt flour)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar (or light brown)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • juice of ½ orange
  • grated zest of 1 orange (organic, untreated)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 180 C (356 F). Prepare large baking tray and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt and stir well.
  3. In another mixing bowl whisk coconut oil and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and whisk until combined. Add cinnamon, orange juice and orange zest and stir well.
  4. Combine the two mixtures by adding the wet mixture into the oats-flour one.
  5. Stir well and add chopped dark chocolate.
  6. Make little dough balls (1 tbsp per ball) and bake on 180 C (356 F) for about 10 min.
  7. Leave enough space between the cookies on the tray as they will spread when in the oven. I baked 12 cookies in the first batch and than again 12 in another batch.
  8. Leave them to cool entirely before storing in the airtight container.
  9. Note: Cookies will still be very soft when you remove them from the oven but they will harden as they cool down.

There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, like refreshing mornings swims, ice creams and cold watermelon, days spent reading books, time with my family and so on.. But after a while my heart starts longing for cool winds and rainy days, morning mists, storms, dark clouds and finding beauty in the shadows… That’s where I find my inspiration and when I feel the most like myself. 🌿

It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at th It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at the moment and that’s quite unusually hot even in August. So I just want to eat light food (fresh figs! cold watermelon! juicy tomatoes!), drink lots of water and hide from the heat imagining all my favourite things I will enjoy this autumn. Tomorrow we should be back to ‘normal’ summer weather… Stay tuned! 😅

I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who li I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who lives behind those doors and what are their stories.. In life, love and between. It has to do less with curiosity and more with entering the world of imagination. Possibly escaping the realities of life too. Anyway, to keep it more light and simple on this summer afternoon, here’s a photo of pretty doors! 😄

These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mo These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mostly the heat that doesn’t agree with my body, me and summer heat are certainly not on good terms. Also, there’s a lot on my mind. And heart. 
I would love to feel the lightness of summer, you know the one where you feel that the summer breeze coming from the sea in the evenings melts all your life challenges and blues away and you feel ligtness in your heart and body. A sparkle. Excitement. Flow. But sometimes that doesn’t come easy. So I need to make an effort and try a bit harder. And that’s ok. Some summers are lighter than others just as some winters are darker. All that is our beautiful life…❤️

In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to simple scenes, even minimalistic, capturing beauty of something ‘ordinary’ that could easily be overlooked… 
I admire work of many photographers who create beauty with busy, more complex scenes but when I decided to follow my heart and what feels right to me, that’s when I started enjoying photography the most. ❤️

My editing style has changed a lot in the last few My editing style has changed a lot in the last few years so sometimes I like to re-edit older photos and compare with the original edit. Most of the times I’m like ‘what was I thinking?!’…😅 But I actually like to see the difference and I’m enjoying the process of changing, evolving, seeing things differently.. So here’s a new edit of this lovely scene and cake made by @evakosmasflores, hope you like it. It makes me feel like late summer afternoon…🧡
