I made chestnut flour pancakes yesterday and they were lovely. Basically a standard American / scotch pancake using chestnut flour instead of whatever you normally use. Festive and gluten free.

Does anyone have any tried and tested recipes for baking cookies that don't use (much) flour? I have chickpeas, beans and oats, but no ground almonds or dessicated coconut. I know there are plenty of recipes online, but I want ones that actually work! Now isn't the time to risk wasting ingredients on an experiment.

I normally make ginger cookies for OH (https://www.fetcheveryone.com/blog/1383/2015/12#blog345139) but the supermarket was all out of flour last time I went, and we only have about 1kg left.

Oat biscuits

Ingredients

150g flour
10g baking powder (optional)

150g oats
150g sugar
150g butter (or vegan alt)

2 tbsp syrup
2 tbsp milk (or vegan alt)

Optional extras, such as:
Glacé cherries
Desiccated coconut
Chocolate chips

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 160C.
Mix the flour, baking powder, oats, sugar and any optional extras in a mixing bowl.
Melt the butter, syrup and milk until heated through.
Mix the butter mixture into the dry ingredients.
Spoon the mixture in round, flat shapes onto two baking trays covered in baking parchment.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden. Once out of the oven, leave the biscuits to cool a little on the baking tray for five minutes before putting them onto a wire rack to cool further.

They do spread quite a bit, I did it once with only one tray, looked like a flat flapjack. Can increase oats, lower flour if required.

Thanks Purps :) I might try upping the oats a bit, but blender-ing some of them into oat flour.

Good luck both of you. They are a big hit here. I haven't made them for ages, something to do with the children next week. I reckon you could probably do them only with oats if needed, you may just need to adjust the wet ingredients a bit.
