Vegan Gluten Free Choc Chip Cookies


So after the Vegan Cake stall at last years festival, we received feedback that it would have been nice to have vegan gluten free baking! We felt sooooo bad, we hadn't even thought about it as none of us were gluten intolerant, which is terrible. So this year, I made an effort to research gluten free vegan (which is actually difficult- there are very few recipes that cater for both), and I really wanted to have a good selection for all of those gluten free, dairy free people out there.

I found a fabulous link with three gluten free vegan baking recipies and made them all for the festival! So first up here is the cookie recipe - it was really easy, and I love gluten free baking it feels lighter in your stomach and it tastes a little different but good different! I'm going to try eating less gluten, it can't be a bad thing!

Ingredients:
1 cup vegetable oil
6 Tbsp stewed apples
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp vanilla essence
1 1/4 cups raw sugar
2/3 cup rice flour
2/3 cup potato starch
2/3 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup ground linseeds
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp xanthum gum (gluten replacement)
1 cup vegan choc chips

Mix together stewed apples, oil, salt, vanilla and sugar. Then mix in the dry ingredients, and stir until a grainy dough forms. Gently fold in the choch chips, don't over mix. Then roll into balls and place on a lined or greased oven tray and bake in the oven at 190 degrees for 15-20 mins. Remove and let them cool on a wire rack!! Store in an airtight container and eat within 3 days! It's really that easy!
