Finely dice apricots and apple rings. Mix flaxseed with oat drink and dried fruit. Melt coconut oil over low heat and pour in, add applesauce and let swell for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Mix oatmeal with almonds, carob, and baking soda. Add vanilla pulp, cinnamon and 1 pinch of salt. Then mix together oatmeal and flaxseed mixture.

Healthy, because
The many complex carbohydrates from Oatmeal guarantee a lasting supply of energy and a stable blood sugar level - so cravings don't stand a chance! The dried fruits not only provide a lot of fiber, but also make added sugar superfluous thanks to the fruity sweetness.
Even smarter
It is best to use unsulfured dried fruit, as the sulfur can cause headaches in some people. Instead of oatmeal you can use another type of flake, the ground almonds can be well replaced by ground hazelnuts or walnuts. Store the cookies in an airtight container that can be sealed.
