The best ever sugar & gluten free cookies

These are a great alternative to pastries or cookies make with lots of white sugar and flour. And they are very tasty. They won’t make you spin out of control on a sugar high, because there isn’t any! Using whole grains and natural sweeteners keeps your blood sugar from spiking.

Recipe makes around 16 cookies

1 Cup Nuts – almonds, cashews or walnuts
1 Cup Oats
½ cup Brown rice flour
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons of Ghee or Coconut Oil
4 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup or other liquid sweetner like Brown Rice Syrup
3 Tablespoons of Apple juice
2 Teaspoons of vanilla
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ cup chocolate chips – vegan chips, carob chips, or dark chocolate chips

Grind the nuts and oats in a blender or food processor. Mix with the brown rice flour, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. Combine the ghee/coconut oil, maple syrup, apple juice, vanilla and apple cider vinegar. Add to the flour/nut mixture and stir well. Add the chocolate chips and stir. Bake at 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.
