Step-by-step
- Grind the oats as finely as possible. A coffee grinder is best, but a food processor or blender will also work.
- Mix with baking soda and salt.
- Whisk eggs with honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Add pistachios, cranberries, and dry ingredients and combine into a uniform mass.
- If the mixture is too runny, add a little more oats or flour – it all depends on the size of the eggs. You can also wait about 10 minutes for the mixture to thicken.
- On a baking sheet lined with baking paper, using wet hands, form a loaf; you can use the paper to help.
- Bake for about 25 minutes at 170°C (340°F).
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and cut into 1-1.5 cm slices with a sharp knife. Initially, you can help yourself by making incisions with a bread knife.
- Bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cookies are nicely browned.
- Cool on the baking sheet, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, and store in an airtight container.
