Makes: 12
65g slightly salted butter, softened
50g light brown muscovado sugar
25g fresh root ginger, grated
Finely grated zest 1 orange
50g wholemeal flour
1½ tsp baking powder
75g porridge oats
100g dried pitted dates, finely chopped
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the butter in a bowl with the sugar, ginger and orange zest and beat well with a wooden spoon until combined.
2. Add the flour, baking powder, oats and dates and using you hands, bring together to make a firm, slightly sticky dough. Divide the mixture into 12 balls, flatten each one slightly and place on the lined baking sheet.
