Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons Raw turbinado sugar or jaggery
- 1 teaspoon flax meal
- 1 Tablespoon hot water
- 2 Tablespoons roasted almond butter Homemade nut butter recipes
- 1 Tablespoon Vegan butter or Organic Canola Oil or coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 4 Tablespoons quinoa blended coarsely or quinoa flour
- 1/3 cup oats
- 2-3 Tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour Or Rice Flour for a gluten free version
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flax meal and hot water and let sit for a minute.
- Add in the room temperature almond butter, vegan butter or oil, sugar and mix well by hand or by hand mixer until the mixture feels light. The almond butter I used was store bought and it takes a while to mix up. Mix and let sit for a few minutes and then mix again to work that almond butter. I used spoon and woman hand power for the mixing!
- Blend/grind the quinoa to a coarse flour along with the baking powder.
- Add in quinoa, oats, salt, cinnamon powder and lemon juice and a little wheat or rice flour and mix till just about combined.
- Add in more oats and flour if needed to get gooey muffin mixture kind of consistency, Or a very sticky dough. If you added too much flour or oats and the mixture looks like a stiff dry dough, then add in a teaspoon oil and/or lemon juice to make it gooey.
- Oil hands or tablespoon and pick up tablespoon full dough, drop them and flatten on parchment paper. Thinner the better.! Its hard to work with the sticky mixture, so I usually dont make round balls.:)
- Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes(add minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie). The cookies should not be runny or liquidy when done.
- Take cookies off baking tray and cool on rack for a few minutes!
- Store in airtight container for a week or so. Let me know how yours turn out!
