Easy peasy perfect gluten-free Oreos made with only 5 ingredients!
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 9 mins Total time: 19 mins
Yield: 8 COOKIES
Ingredients:
Cookie
¼ cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
½ cup cacao powder
¼ cup + 2 tbsps brown rice flour
Filling:
1 can of full fat coconut milk chilled overnight
2 tbsps powdered sugar (store-bought or homemade in the blender)
Lower fat filling options:
*Powdered peanut butter. It sounds like a higher fat option, but with powdered peanut butter it’s actually a lower fat way to go!
*Chocolate peanut butter. Utilize the thickening action of powdered peanut butter to make a chocolate filling. Powdered peanut butter + cacao powder + water.
*Banana. If you size your cookies just right, then one banana coin will sandwich in between two cookies perfectly. It’s almost the right color too!
*Nicecream. Blend up some frozen bananas, dollop on a cookie, sandwich, freeze, you have an ice cream sandwich! And of course you could make the nicecream any flavor you want–strawberry, chocolate, cinnamon, gingerbread, chocolate chip, lemon, endless ice cream-abilities!
*Date caramel. Dates + water.
Instructions:
Cookie: Preheat the oven to 175C (350F).
Combine all the ingredients. Mix to form a thick cookie dough.
Roll into 16 balls. Arrange on a pan (or two pans) lined with parchment paper. Cover with a piece of wax paper and flatten with the bottom of a cup or jar to about ½ inch thickness
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350F.
Let them cool, they will become crispy as they cool.
Filling: Scoop out the cream from the can of coconut milk leaving behind the liquid. Add the powdered sugar and whisk till smooth and creamy.
