Do you know who gave me this recipe for flourless oatmeal cookies ? Stella, from the Food Pluggers . I already told you that my little one has a hard time eating basically anything that isn't made from flour. And I joined the Food Pluggers , that wonderful little group of Republican parents dedicated to developing methods to introduce healthy food to children.
Well, when you start food plugging, you're assigned a mentor. I can't tell you what the initiation ritual entails, but I can tell you that Stella was my mentor. Stella gave me countless recipes and advised me on how to get the kids started on healthy foods like these oatmeal cookies without complaining and having a good time.
When I mentioned that almost everything my son accepted contained flour and that this worried me a little, he said, "That's because you haven't given him flourless oatmeal cookies yet, my dear." No sooner said than done. The cookies are delicious, and Coqui devoured them.
Over time, I became friends with Stella, who talks a lot about God and has a son, Tobbey, a former no-good-anything kid. I'll keep telling you more food plugger stories...
Ingredients
for a good source of oatmeal cookies
- 30g of grated coconut
- 50g of oat bran
- 50g of sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp. rolled oats
- 3 drops of vanilla essence
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- Half -lemon zest
Flourless Oatmeal Cookie Recipe
They are super rich and healthy
- Mix all the dry ingredients: coconut, oat bran, rolled oats, salt, sugar, baking powder, and lemon zest.
- Add the beaten egg with the drops of vanilla essence. This will give our oatmeal cookies a special aroma and flavor.
- Mix well, it will be a sticky dough.
- Place in the refrigerator for half an hour. This is protocol; I was hungry and didn't do it, but if you do, it's even better. It'll make the cookies easier to form.
- Form into balls and place them in a greased and floured baking dish.
- Bake in a medium oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. It's important to remove them as soon as the edges turn golden brown, otherwise they'll burn underneath and you won't be able to see them. They may look soft when you remove them, but they harden as they cool. Ready! Your flourless oatmeal cookies are delicious and very healthy .
on the use of the oven in cookies
You have to be careful with the oven temperature for these flourless oatmeal cookies (or, in fact, for any cookie baking). Since they bake quickly, it's sometimes easy to screw up. If you set the oven too high, they'll burn on the bottom before golden brown on top. If you set the oven too low, they won't burn, but they may end up very dry when you take them out. I advise you to try a small batch of oatmeal cookies until you find the perfect temperature. As Descartes said, every oven is unique.
This is how my oatmeal cookies look
Were you on a diet? No? They can manage with dulce de leche.
Hello!! What is oat bran? Like flour? Why can I replace it?
I just made these as a gift; they're spectacular. I substituted stevia for sugar. Thank you so much!
Hello! Don't these cookies have oil in them?
Very delicious! What if I replaced the sugar with molasses and honey and a touch of cinnamon?
I love your recipes, queen, they are always amazing, thank you!
Hello. How do I calculate the grams of oats and coconut on a scale?
Yes, there are a few… maybe 10 small ones. Do I need to double the recipe?
Does anyone know what you can replace the egg with? Thanks 🙂
Hello, can they be made with oat bran?
Hello, question, what is oat bran? Thanks.
I added grated apple and reduced the amount of sugar. Delicious.
Delicious!!! Since I didn't have lemon, I added grated orange peel and sweetener.
I added one more tablespoon of unsweetened coconut, two tablespoons of honey, one tablespoon of liquid sweetener, and lemon and orange zest. A delicacy.
Are the quantities a joke? How much do 2 cookies cost?
Can they be made with brown sugar? How much would be used?
I added nuts to the cookies, VERY GOOD!!!!
Delicious oatmeal cookies
According to the quantities you put as ingredients, it comes out very little.
Super easy and delicious! The only thing I thought was the amount of sugar was too much; 50 grams would have been enough 🙂
But still, highly recommended!
Hello, how are you? One question: What is the purpose of grated coconut? Thanks.
They are very delicious
They turned out delicious!! I substituted powdered sugar for sweetener, made them in the Essen pot, and they turned out great!! Thank you!!
Hello, have you checked the weight of each one, is there the same amount of bran as sugar, and are the quantities very small?
Hello, are the quantities checked the same amount of bran as sugar and are the quantities very small?
Very good!! They turned out delicious! But is there a way to avoid sugar? Because I want to diet...
Since I made them the first time, they've been my favorites, and everyone who tries them makes them every week. They're a sensation. They're delicious, and I've made some spectacular variations. I've made them with chocolate chips, chia seeds, honey, sesame seeds, and they're always delicious. Thanks, Paulina. You're the best.
I made them and they were delicious... another recipe that really works. Thank you so much.
They look easy to prepare.. Thanks for the recipe
HELLO, QUESTION: IS AVENE USED INSTANTLY OR DO YOU HAVE TO SOAK IT? THANK YOU!
Hello! Delicious! I'll tell you that I made two batches... in the first batch, I replaced the rolled oats with a tablespoon of carob flour because I didn't have any. And I added some seeds. And in the second batch, since I didn't have any coconut, I added ground walnuts and peanuts instead, and they turned out delicious! (This time I didn't add carob) And in the second batch, I separated them well because they almost doubled in size! I will definitely add them to my recipe book at home!
