FODMAP Diet Almond Cookie Recipe

Having cracked making FODMAP diet cookies and biscuits, I've been experimenting with the basic recipe. I wouldn't normally post a recipe variation as a whole FODMAP post but I made these for a party recently and they were one of the most popular things with everybody who attended, so I thought I'd better share the recipe with you too.

Ingredients:

175g gluten free flour

75g almonds

100g light brown soft sugar

1 tbsp chia seeds (or you could use ground flax/linseeds)

50ml almond milk or water

2 tablespoons golden syrup (or maple syrup)

2 tablespoons sunflower oil (or you could use rapeseed etc)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

Makes 20

 

Put the chia seeds in a bowl with the almond milk and leave to soak for 5 minutes.Then combine with the syrup, oil, vanilla extract and salt. 

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until you have a stiff dough. Roll into a log and wrap in cling film. Put in the freezer for 20 minutes.

 

Remove the dough from the freezer and slice into 20 3/4 inch thick rounds.

 

Place on a baking sheet and bake at 180C/350F for 15 minutes or until just golden around the edges. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to crisp up.
