Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2-¾ cups rolled oats (260 grams )
  • 1-1/3 cups coconut sugar (266 grams), or other granulated sweetener of choice
  • 1 cup rice flour (140 grams)
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil (168 grams) melted and cooled, or butter
  • 3/4 cup water room temp or warm, not cold
  • 1/3 cup chickpea flour (46 grams)
  • 2 Tablespoons psyllium husk whole (<-- This brand is best.) (9 grams) OR 5 Tablespoons (22g) if you'd like to omit the basil or chia seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons basil seeds or chia seeds, 20 grams OR: Omit seeds for VAD or if preferred, and use 5 Tablespoons psyllium husk whole (instead of 2)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Add-in: 1-1/4 cups apples peeled and diced, or raisins or chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon Omit for VAD

Instructions

  • Place all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. Give them a good stir so they're pretty well mixed.
  • Add melted fat and water. I use an electric handheld mixer on low speed. Mix well until thoroughly incorporated. Add optional diced apples (or raisins/chocolate chips), and briefly stir in with spatula.
  • Set batter aside, and allow it to thicken for 1 hour.
  • Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Scoop 2-ounce portions onto cookie sheet. Wet fingers or the palm of your hand, and flatten each one to about ¾" thickness.
    Bake cookies 14 to 15 minutes. Cool completely before eating. (Cookies are a little crumbly, but have a lovely texture.)
