Delicious Gluten Free , Vegan Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

Something Iconic this week !! Simple but delicious

Raisin Oatmeal Cookies !!!! Okay I can hear some disapproval that you are not keen on raisins !!!

Well Im sorry but you are missing a treat

I’ve also read that folk feel duped when they get a raisin cookie , thinking its chocolate 😂😂…. well every cookie doesn’t have to contain chocolate SURELY !!!

Well not in The Cauldron Anyway

This recipe is so easy , one that you could easily get the kids involved in !!

They have the soft middle with chewy outer that fit the bill of a great oatmeal cookie , plus the bursts of soft raisin to boot

The everyday cookie that just keeps giving

My last recipe for 3 to 4 weeks but I will explain that after the recipe

So with that lets bake ( Oh and another video for you to show how easy it is )

recipe

Raisin Oatmeal Cookies GF, DF V

Delicious soft and chewy Raisin and Oatmeal cookies


You can use a hand mixer , stand mixer or wooden sppon to make which ever you require


Ingredients

  • 125 g Unsalted Plantbased Butter ( I use Flora plant based )
  • 100 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 75 g White Granulated Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Chickpea/ Besan Flour
  • 3 tbsp Water
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
  • 150 g Gluten Free Plain Flour Blend ( I recommend Doves Farm Freee UK or Pillsbury Us )
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum ( omit if your flour blend contains it )
  • 150 g Gluten Free Rolled Oats
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder ( make sure it is GF )
  • 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 200 g Raisins

Directions

  1. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
  2. Add in the Gluten Free plain flour blend , oats, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and xanthan gum , cinnamon and nutmeg ( If using )to bowl and whisk together
  3. Add your plant based butter and sugars to a bowl and beat till creamy
  4. Mix 3 tbsp of chickpea/ besan flour to 3 tbsp water and mix until smooth
  5. Add this to the creamed mixture with the vanilla extract and beat until combined
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed and beat until a dough is formed
  7. Add in your Raisins and beat mix in until distributed well. I found hand best !!! ( The doughs will be a little tacky )
  8. Weigh your cookies out into nine cookie dough balls – about 90g each!
  9. Roll your cookie dough into balls (don’t roll it too tightly )and put your cookie dough in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for an hour
  10. Whilst the cookie dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 200C / 395 F ( I do not recommend convection for cookies )
  11. Take your cookies out of the freezer/fridge and put onto a lined baking tray. I put four to five cookies per tray!
  12. Bake the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes
  13. Once baked, leave them to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes,
  14. Best eaten on the day but will keep in an air tight container for 3 days ( Just give them a little freshen up in the microwave for 10 seconds or in the oven for a couple of minutes
  15. Enjoy

Gluten Free and Vegan ‘Caram!lk’ Cookies

‘Caramilk’ NYC Style Cookies
Gluten Free and Vegan

Well now for something a little different this week !!

Caramilk ……..but not Caramilk 🙊 ……. Caram!lk Cookies because these are Gluten Free and Vegan

Who would have thought that this chocolate development would have happened at all……. but the folk at Plamil Foods / So Free Here in the UK have nailed it to the mast

This I must add quickly is not an add this was just the desire to get my hands on the product …….so much so I bought 6 bars 🙊🙊🙊

So I wanted to make something that was quick easy and fuss free

So Cookies it is ….and delicious they are

As I say with all my cookies that contain Chickpea Flour …..

Please do not taste these until they are cooked …..

It honestly is the food of the devil and you deserve to eat these baked 😂😂

They certainly didn’t hang around long in our Biscuit Tin ( Cough Cookie Jar if you must 🤣)

I have this week once again included a little You Tube Video , If I have these produced I will up load them for you

It may not be every week it does depend on time restraints and whether I can be bothered 😂😂😂, but if there is one to be had I will endeavour to get them to you

It still seems a little surreal that I have actually manage to negiotiate some changes to The blog …..

I do hope you like the changes , and I hope its now easier to read and more enjoyable to see the videos that the still pics

Now lets bake some Cookies !!!
