Wow, 2 posts in 2 days! What is the world coming to?? Continuing yesterday's theme of wheat and dairy free treats, I made these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies a while back. Oscar is now at the age where it's really difficult to eat in front of him ie. he throws a bit of a tantrum if he can't have a bite! So having something safe for him to eat as well makes life a little easier.Rather than start from scratch I adapted the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe on Simply Recipes here. The changes I made were:
- swapped out the wheat flour for a 50:50 blend of white and wholemeal spelt flours along with a pinch of xanthum gum
- used a dairy free spread instead of butter
- left out the nuts
- cut back on the sugar (I used just 1/2 cup brown and 1/2 cup white and they were still really sweet)
The taste test ...
Chewy, spicy, sweet and completely addictive! I got 24 huge cookies and they make a pretty substantial snack. I froze most of the batch and they are delicious straight from the freezer. These are a definite winner and will be made again and again.
My all time favorite cookie! I could use one now.
ReplyDeleteThose look gorgeous!I will try soon.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look delicious! My husband's cousin is a gluten-free eater so I will have to make these when he and his wife come to visit.
