These healthy cookies are lightly spiced using cinnamon and nutmeg and are sweetened with honey. The recipe uses chewy sultanas (golden raisins) and crunchy walnuts, which creates a lovely combination of textures.

Using oatmeal in a recipe means you can use less flour. Eating oats as part of a healthy diet is great because they're very low in fat and release their energy slowly, which helps you feel fuller for longer.

This recipe uses walnuts but you could try using hazelnuts or flaked almonds for a different flavour. If you'd like to make the cookies a little sweeter try adding a tablespoon of treacle (molasses), although remember this will increase the sugar levels. For a healthier alternative, try adding a handful of chopped dried apricots.

When the cookies are in the oven, make sure you keep an eye on them as the sultanas can burn quite easily.
