Description
An apple walnut cookie that’s packed with flavor —vegan and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- ½ cups Oat Flour
- ½ cups Brown Rice Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Tapioca Flour/starch
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoons Allspice
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ cups Walnut Oil
- ⅓ cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 Flax Egg (1 Tablespoon Flax Meal And 3 Tablespoons Water, Mix And Let Sit About 5 Minutes)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- ¾ cups Rolled Oats (quick Oats Would Work Too)
- 1 Small Or Medium Red Apple, Unpeeled, Finely Diced And Tossed With A Bit Of Cinnamon And Sugar
- 1 cup Chopped Walnuts
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
In a mixing bowl combine flours, starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a second bowl, combine oil, sugar, flax egg, and vanilla. Pour the liquid into the dry mix and mix together until well combined. Next, add oats, apples and walnuts and fold together.
On a nonstick cookie sheet, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mix. Really press the mix into your tablespoon so that it forms a nice compact ball. Bake for 10–12 minutes until slightly golden.
Notes:
1. For an extra crunchy top, I like to pop them under the broiler for a minute. Since there is fresh apple in these, by nature, the cookies will get softer each day they are stored.
2. If you’re not gluten-free or vegan, all-purpose flour and a regular egg can be used.
