    Oatmeal chocolate chip gluten free cookies with a secret ingredient. Vegan recipe. #glutenfree #veganricha #vegan


    First, Thank you all for all the support! I crossed 700 likes on my facebook page! yay. thank you for all the love to the Tiramisu pancakes.. which came about out of the happy memories of some happy events, celebrated with decadent Tiramisu in my prevegan days. I could make the whole dessert vegan too, but this came about as a quicker, and healthier idea! yay for some special breakfast!

     

    I had to start experimenting with gluten free desert baking some day.. I made a gf quick bread, which was decent.. with breads and cakes you have to get a hang of the ratios, the new types of flours, xanthan or guar gum and such. Cookies are a bit simpler, they do not necessarily need binding gum.
     
    These cookies came out fabulous! and dont taste much different than the regular oatmeal and wheat flour cookies! I added some puffed rice/rice krispies to the cookies to make them a bit more porous and crunchy. Brilliant idea… dont u think. You can tweak the recipe to make your own! and I hope you all like it.

    Ingredients

    • 2/3 cup (54 g) old fashioned oats ground.
    • 1/3 cup (27 g) oats
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) guar gum (optional. I’ve made these without the gum and they comes out fine)
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) baking powder
    • 1/2 cup (7 g) puffed rice (murmura in hindi. cheap at an indian store)
    • 1/2 cup (90 g) vegan chocolate chips
    • 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
    • 1 tablespoon organic canola oil
    • 2 tablespoons agave
    • 3 Tablespoons raw sugar
    • 1/8 teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) salt
    • 1 tablespoon flaxmeal
    • 4 tablespoons water
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) pumpkin pie spice or other spices of choice

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, mix the flaxmeal in 2 Tablespoons hot water and keep for 2 minutes.
    • Add in 2 tablespoons hot water, coconut oil and canola oil and mix so the coconut oil melts a bit. (or melt the coconut oil separately and add)
    • Add in the sugar, agave, spices, salt and lemon juice and mix well for 2 minutes using hand or electric mixer( I dont use the electric one, since the mixture doesnt need much fluffing up)
    • Grind the 2/3 cup oats along with baking powder and guar gum, or use 1/2 cup oat flour and mix in the baking powder and guar gum powder. Add to wet mix.
    • Coarsely grind the puffed rice/rice krispies, with just a few pulses to break the rice into smaller pieces. Add this to wet mix as well.
    • Add the whole oats and chocolate chips and mix well to combine.
    • Drop spoonfulls on parchment lined baking sheet. press down with oiled hand or spoon and shape a bit.
    • Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 12-14 minutes. Cool on rack and enjoy!

        Hi, sorry the comment went to spam. You can replace the puffed with more oats. Puffed rice or rice krispies cannot be made at home unfortunately.
