Notes

I made this recently using a large can of plums. I drained the plums over a sifter, and the cake was delicious. I can't wait to try with fresh plums once the price goes down,

This is one that I use

INGREDIENTS​

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 200 of butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or white chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups dried craisins, raisins or cranberries

Directions​

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C or 165 fan-forced. Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour with the oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars at medium speed until creamy. Add the eggs, then the vanilla, beating well between additions and scraping down the side of the bowl as necessary. Beat in the dry ingredients, then add the chocolate chips and cranberries and stir well until incorporated.
  3. Spoon heaping teaspoons of the dough onto the baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies begin to brown at the edges. Let the cookies partially cool on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
