Ingredients




½ cup oat flour
½ cup brown rice flour
2 tbsp tapioca flour/starch
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup walnut oil
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 flax egg (1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water, mix and let sit about 5 min)
1 tsp vanilla
1 small/medium red apple, unpeeled - finely diced and tossed with a bit of cinnamon and sugar
¾ cup rolled oats (quick oats would work too)
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 375-degrees 2 In a mixing bowl combine: flours, starch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and set aside. 3 In a second bowl combine oil, sugar, flax egg, and vanilla. 4 Pour the liquid into the dry mix and mix together until well combined. Next, add in oats, apples and walnuts and fold together. 5 On a nonstick cookie sheet, drop a heaping tablespoon of the mix. Really press the mix into your tablespoon so that it forms a nice compact ball. 6 Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden. 7 NOTES 8 For an extra crunchy top, I like to pop them under the broiler for a minute. Since there is fresh apple in these, by nature, the cookies will get softer each day they are stored. 9 *If you're not gluten free or vegan, all-purpose flour and a regular egg can be used.
