Vegan Easter cookies
Even though the vegan Easter cookies are not baked with wholemeal flour, they still contain plenty of fiber from the oat flakes. This soluble fibre called beta-glucan has a positive effect on cholesterol levels. The EFSA (European Food and Saftey Authority) agrees with this and approves a health claim for the cereal: ...Oat beta-glucan lowers the cholesterol level in the blood. Lowering blood cholesterol levels can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
The dough for the vegan Easter cookies is very crumbly, so you have to work it very carefully. If you like, you can also squeeze the lemon and make a sugar icing for the Easter bunny biscuits from the juice and icing sugar. Spread the biscuits with it after they have cooled down.

Preparation steps
Blend oat flakes into a fine flour. Mix together with flour, sugar and turmeric. Add lemon zest and olive oil to the remaining ingredients and mix everything into a smooth dough. Place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
preheated oven at 180 °C/ 350°F (fan oven 160 °C/ 325°F). Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and cut out Easter bunny shaped cookies using a cookie cutter. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place cookies on it. If necessary, chop the dried fruit a little, place them as eyes on the cookies and press them lightly. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray.
