Ingredients

2 cups Rogers Foods Large Flake Oats
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup melted butter
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup Rogers Foods All Purpose Flour (or our No Additive or Organic Flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

A playful spring favourite made with Rogers Large Flake Oats, baked into cookie “nests” with crisp edges and a chewy centre, then filled with colourful mini eggs for an easy Easter treat.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin (butter or oil).
2.In a large bowl, mix Rogers Foods Large Flake Oats, Rogers Foods flour, baking powder, salt (and cinnamon if using).
3.In a separate bowl, whisk honey, melted butter, egg, milk (and vanilla if using).
4.Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
5.Rest the batter for 15 minutes so the oats absorb moisture and the mixture firms up.
6.Scoop into the muffin tin. Press firmly into each cup and up the sides to form a “nest” shape.
7.Bake 22–28 minutes, until deeply golden and set.
8.Remove from oven and let sit 3–4 minutes. Use the back of a teaspoon or a rounded measuring spoon; press the centre down gently to deepen the nest.
9.Return to the oven for 5 more minutes to set the shape.
10.Cool for about 5 minutes and then add 3 candy chocolate eggs to each nest.
11.Cool in the tin additional 10 minutes, then carefully lift out and cool completely on a rack. For extra crispness, let them sit at room temperature 30–60 minutes before storing.
12.Store in an airtight container. To keep them crisp, place a paper towel in the container and avoid sealing them while warm.
