Bob's Redmill Gluten Free Brownies

Sometimes it's SOOOO much easier to grab a mix when you're in a hurry, having company over, or just don't want to have to think about measuring. I almost always have a mix or two on hand for a sweet treat.  Being the mother of a 2 year old, I am determined to make sure she always has a delicious alternative and never feels deprived.

One of my favorite mixes so far is Bob's Redmill GF Bownie Mix.  I just use 3 Tbs. flax meal mixed with 4 Tbs. water (let stand for 5 minutes until almost slimy egg-like in texture) instead of egg, and they bake up so fluffy and wonderful!  Just follow the instructions on the package.  I use the Earth Balance Soy Free instead of butter.  :-)



Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

In electric mixer, cream together:

1/2 c. Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Spread, SOY FREE
1/2 c. Beet Sugar
1/2 c. Coconut Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
Egg replacer/water or flax/water (mixed to replace one large egg)

Add:
1/2 c. GF Oat Flour
1/2 c. Millet Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 c. Unsweetened Grated Coconut
1 1/2 c. GF Rolled Oats

If desired, add:
Allergy free chocolate chips
or
1 tsp. Cinnamon and 1 c. Raisins

Mix together until well blended.  Drop by small spoonfuls onto wax or parchment paper.

Bake at 400 degrees F. for about 10 minutes until just fluffy and browning at edges.  Watch carefully and do not overcook; if cooked until fully browned they will be very crunchy!  (still yummy though!)
