Recipes: Wheat-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Lately I've been working on baked goods. Trying to perfect gluten-free baking, as it were. Not an easy task, which is why I'm so thrilled with these cookies. Not only are they wheat free, but they're vegan, fat free, AND sugar free. It doesn't get any better than that.

Wheat-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

+ 3/4 cup oat flour
+ 1/2 cup brown rice flour
+ 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
+ 1/8 teaspoon salt
+ 1/2 cup agave syrup
+ 1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract
+ 5 Tablespoons of oil (I used extra-light olive oil, not extra-virgin, though any vegetable oil should work well)
+ 1 egg substitute (non vegans can just use an egg)
+ 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
+ 3/4 cup oats (and yes, you can buy gluten free oats)
+ non-dairy chocolate chips --I picked up some that were sweetened with white grape juice.

Directions:

1) Combine the oat flour, brown rice flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

2) In a medium bowl, blend the sugars, vanilla, and oil. Beat in the egg.

3) Slowly add the flour mixture until well combined.

4) Stir in the shredded coconut, oats, and as many chocolate chips as you would like.

5) Bake at 350º for 8 to 10 minutes.

Finally, enjoy.
