PB-flapjack-cookies

This is a recipe for some cookies which are low FODMAP, gluten free and dairy free, and hit the spot just right for me.

Since developing some food intolerances (FODMAP), my food has been much more limited. With no wheat, that’s meant no cake or pastries; occasionally gluten free flour replacements can work but it’s a bit hit-and-miss (some of the substitutes are also bad for my gut). I can still have oats, so flapjacks are an option, but they usually contain syrup which is out for me too… Anyway, came across this option!

Ingredients

1 egg
150g peanut butter (smooth or crunchy both work)
70g sugar (this is less than the standard recipe had, but I wanted something less sweet. Conventionally probably 100g would be “normal”.)
100g oats
1tsp baking powder

Optional: chocolate as chocolate chips chunks, melted chocolate or cocoa, I would guess about (about 30-40g depending on how much chocolate you want)

Method

Get a mixing dish. Mix the egg, peanut butter and sugar together. Then add the oats and baking powder and mix that in too.

Make the mixture (not dough or batter?) into balls about 3cm-4cm big, then squish them flat to be cookies. To your preference for how big or flat you want your cookies.

Oven on about 190 for about 10 minutes.

Result

(Hand not mine)
