Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 110kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup quinoa flakes
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large egg (or flax egg)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup roasted peanuts , chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. In a separate mixing bowl, beat all the wet ingredients until combined and smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Scoop the dough onto the cookie sheets (I use an ice cream scoop to do this). Flatten with the back of a wet fork and bake in the center of the oven for 13 - 15 minutes, until the cookies have started to brown and are a little crispy to the touch.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool for another 5 or 10 minutes.
Notes
If you don't follow a gluten-free diet, feel free to substitute regular rolled oats and oat bran - there will be no change in texture or flavor!
