Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of butter or alternative
• 1 cup of gluten free flour
• 1 cup of GF Oats
• 1/2 cup applesauce or one grated green cooking apple
• 2 bananas
• 1 tspn of vanilla
• 1 tspn of baking powder (only if using just brown rice flour)
• 1/4 cup of maple syrup
• 1 tspn of cinnamon
  optional chocolate chips 

Method

1. Blend the butter with your electric mixer. Add the banana. Then add all the wet ingredients including the apple.
2. Now mix in the dry ingredients.
3. Mix until well combined. The mixture should resemble a wet dough and you need to be able to apply it in your hands to roll into balls without the dough falling apart. If it is a little dry just add some water by the tablespoon.
4. Roll into small biscuit size balls. Press down gently with a fork and place in the oven for about 15mins or until lightly browned.

These are a delicious alternative for breakfast or on the run. No sugar and low in fat.

Note: You could add 1/2 cup of almond meal with 1/2 cup of the gluten-free flour option which would increase the protein content.
