Author: Anita Tee Modified by: IHHC

Ingredients:

• 1 C All-purpose gluten-free flour (I like King Arthur brand)
• ½ Tsp Baking powder
• ½ Tsp Xanthan gum (not necessary if your gluten-free flour already contains a gum)
• 2 Tbsp Coconut sugar
• 1 C Fast-cooking gluten-free oats
• Few drops alcohol-free vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp Coconut oil (I like Nutiva brand)
• ½ C Pure maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp Applesauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, coconut sugar and oats.
3. In a large, separate bowl, combine the vanilla, oil, maple syrup and applesauce.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and, using a spoon, scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet flattening the tops.
6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes and let cool.

 Options:

*Try substituting almond or hazelnut extract for the vanilla extract for a slightly different taste.
