Gluten Free Buddha Cookies – Low Sugar, Vegan Recipe

The Buddha was known for his predilection of sweets. These Buddha cookies would have made a nice treat while sitting under the Bodhi Tree. Both nutritious and delicious, the cookies deliver on the fiber and anti-oxidants. The combination of ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and black pepper make this a healing snack on your path to enlightenment or sinful self-indulgence.

3 oats

1 cup almond (or other type of meal flour)

0.50 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp ginger powder

0.50 tsp cumin

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp ground cardamom

1 pinch ground cayenne pepper

1 banana (pureed in food processor)

0.25 cup Fructevia, Steviva Blend (or a tiny dash of StevivaSweet)

2 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp molasses

1 cup nut milk (soy, coconut or rice milk)

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

0.75 cup raisins

0.50 cup dark chocolate (finely chopped)

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl mix all wet ingredients and half of the milk and add them to the dry ingredients and stir just to combine.

If necessary, add remaining milk, but make sure you do not make it too liquid.

Scoop tablespoon sized portions on greased baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.

If you want a softer cookie, bake 8 - 10 minutes, and for more crisp cookies 16-20 minutes, but I find it perfect baked for 15 minutes.
