Oatmeal, Coconut, and Almond Flour Cookies - Wheat-Free

in #steemkitchen6 years ago

This is the second wheat-free cookie recipe I have posted that could be called vegan depending on the choices you make. The advantage it has over the last one is it's a cheaper, plainer, and lower calorie cookie, enough so that I didn't call it a breakfast cookie this time. It's also a softer cookie and equally delicious!

I have noticed that both my wheat-free cookie recipes don't brown as beautifully as wheat based ones. That seems to be normal.

Of the options I list below, the cookies I made today have almond flour, melted butter, raisins, and maple syrup. I will be using up maple syrup for awhile and that's okay with me. I acquired several large cans of it through a long story involving my goddaughter and international shippers refusing to ship maple syrup!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 mL) almond meal or almond flour
  • 2 cups (480 mL) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120 mL) shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 2 teaspoons (16 mL) cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon (4 mL) salt
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) butter (melted), coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup (180 mL) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon (8 mL) vanilla
  • 3/4 cup (180 mL) raisins or chocolate chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180 C).
  2. Combine all the dry ingredients using a spoon.
  3. Whisk the wet ingredients together.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir well.
  5. Drop onto a cookie sheet using a tablespoon. You may want to squeeze them a bit so they're not too loose.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes.

Makes 2-1/2 dozen cookies

Yes, these freeze well. Lately, I have been making cookies slightly less convenient by hiding them from myself in the freezer and doling them out one at a time. 40 seconds in the microwave give them that just baked warmth.

And a photography tip: Don't offer them around before you take the photo!
