Gluten Free Buddha Cookies – Low Sugar, Vegan Recipe

RatingDifficultyBeginner

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)
1

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

2

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.

3

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.

4

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

5

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

6

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.
