Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies.
Chewy and delicious gluten free oatmeal cookies studded with fresh strawberries are the perfect dessert to make this summer.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan buttery spread
- ½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground flax seed meal
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten free flour blend Namaste Perfect Flour Blend works well
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups certified gluten free oats
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
- In a small bowl or mug, make the flax egg: mix the water and flax meal together and let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the flax egg and vanilla and continue to mix.
- Add the gluten free flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Stop the mixer and stir in the oats. Once combined, gently stir in the strawberries. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool fully on the cookie sheet.
Notes
Store these in an airtight container for 2-3 days. If you plan to keep them beyond that, I recommend the refrigerator.
If you don't love strawberries, try blueberries or raspberries.
If you aren't gluten free you can use regular flour.
