Equipment
- Cookie scoop optional
Ingredients
- ¾ cup oats gf if required
- ⅛ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon cardamom more for extra spice, to taste
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup almond butter
- pinch salt
For the flax 'egg'
- 1 tablespoon milled flaxseed
- 3 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C / 375F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Make the flax egg by combining the flax meal and water and stirring well. Set aside for ten minutes.
- Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl. Once the flax egg is ready, add to the bowl along with the maple syrup and almond butter. Stir very thoroughly.
- Wet your hands and then use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out enough 'dough' for the cookie. Roll between your hands and then place on the baking tray. Pat down to form a cookie shape. Repeat to get 6 cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Check after 8 minutes for any signs of burning. They will still be quite moist, so transfer (carefully!) to a wire baking rack to cool. Then enjoy!
Notes
- I haven't tried it myself, but if you do not tolerate almond butter, then macadamia nut butter should work well.
- Adjust spice to taste, and add a touch more if you prefer a stronger taste.
- Wet your hands before you form the cookies as it makes it far easier (and less sticking to your hands!).
- Use gluten free oats if you have that dietary requirement.
- almond butter, as almonds score 1.
- ginger, which scores 1. There is a note stating 'small amounts are well tolerated'.
- flax isn't mentioned on the SIGHI list.
- cardamom has a note (in French) stating that some varieties may not be tolerated.
