ingredients
- 2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons soy milk
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Method
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together ground flaxseed and milk. Set aside for 5 minutes to gel.
Step 2
Add room temperature butter, molasses, and sugar to a bowl. Cream until fluffy.
Step 3
Add in gelled flax mixture and beat until smooth.
Step 4
Sift in oat flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes. During this time the dough will thicken and be easier to roll.
Step 6
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 7
Roll dough into balls, roll in sugar if desired, then place on baking sheet. (If the dough is sticking to your hands too much, you can lightly wet your hands.)
Step 8
Use your fingers to slightly flatten the dough into discs.
Step 9
Bake 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
