Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Beat the softened butter with the sugar until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add the egg and mix well, then stir in the oat flakes, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  4. Form a soft dough; if it is too sticky, add a spoonful of flour.
  5. Shape balls the size of a walnut, space them out on the tray, then flatten them slightly with a fork.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden.
  7. Leave to cool for 5 minutes on the tray before moving to a wire rack.

Variations and tips

Chocolate version. Add the chocolate chips to the dough before shaping the balls.

Using what's easy to find. Oat flakes are sold in supermarkets; avoid instant versions, which would give a mushy texture.
