GLUTEN NOTE: This is one of the few recipes in this cookbook that contains oats (which

may contain gluten see "Glossary of Ingredients") I have included this recipe because I

wanted to provide an traditional oatmeal cookie recipe If you wanted to avoid any

possibility of gluten (and therefore the oats) you could use other rolled grains (such as

rolled rice or even just brown rice flour or try puffed rice or puffed millet for something

different) in place of the rolled oats

This makes a soft cookie See variations for making the cookie crunchier/crispier

An easy way to grind flax seeds is in a coffee grinder

An easy way to make tapioca flour is by grinding old fashion pearl tapioca in a coffee

grinder (see the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more information on making or buying tapioca

flour)

DRY INGREDIENTS

/ cups rolled oats

tablespoons unrefined coconut oil

(or nonhydrogenated veg shortening)

(or walnut oil or canola oil)

cup brown rice flour (or spelt flour)

cup millet flour (or spelt flour)

/ cup ground flax seed

cup walnuts chopped

tablespoons tapioca flour

/ cup fruit juice sweetened dried banana spears

diced

/ cup sesame seeds ground

tablespoons whole sugar (eg Rapadura)

or Sucanat sugar or granulated sugar)

/ teaspoon sea salt

WET INGREDIENTS

(

/ cup brown rice syrup

/ cup maple syrup

teaspoons ground cinnamon

teaspoons baking powder (double acting)

tablespoons walnut oil refined (or canola oil)

tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to degrees F ( degrees C)

Put parchment paper down on a baking sheet (if you don't have parchment paper you can oil your baking sheet)

Cookies can even stick a little to a nonstick baking sheet which messes up the cookies so I greatly prefer

parchment paper because it always makes for very easy removal

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl Cut coconut oil (or shortening or oil) into flour mixture (using a fork

and a knife) Mix in chopped walnuts and fruit juice sweetened dried banana spears that have been diced into

raisinsized pieces

Blend wet ingredients in a separate bowl

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix together It may seem a bit dry at first but once you get all the

ingredients integrated it will form a slightly sticky shapable dough (If other flours besides those being called for

are used additional flour may be needed to create a stiff enough dough The dough is too wet if you can not

form cookies with your hands)
