Рецепт Gluten Free Pecan, Oat, and Dark Chocolate-Chunk Cookies
The tough part about following a gluten free diet is learning to bake from scratch all over again. Frankly, even someone who loves to cook like me was put off by all the combinations of gluten free flours mixed with binders like guar gum. Instead, I relied on mixes (and there are some good ones out there) or just bought gluten free cookies at the store.
So when I saw this very simple to make gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe from the May 2015 issue of Martha Stewart Living that used only rolled oats, I thought it would encourage me – and other frustrated bakers – to try gluten free baking once again.
Plus, these Gluten Free Pecan, Oat, and Dark Chocolate-Chunk Cookies are a rather healthy indulgence since they contain good for you treats like pecans and dark chocolate and healthy fats like olive oil. It’s even sweetened with real maple syrup, which a lot of people prefer as a natural sweetener.
Now, if you have celiacs or are baking for someone who is very gluten sensitive, make sure to buy gluten free certified old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. While oatmeal is naturally gluten free, some oats are processed on equipment that may be cross-contaminated with wheat containing food products.
