Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

I have been playing around with some gluten free recipes and developed this amazingly fluffy orange chocolate oatmeal cookie. I want to develop gluten free recipes that go easy on the speciality flours as such flours are highly processed but also because of issues relating to accessibility and interest. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could make a special treat for your gluten free friend with the ingredients that you already have in your pantry? I think it would be.

These cookies will be appearing in an upcoming project which I need recipe testers for! So if you are interesting in testing some orange chocolate flavoured recipes email wingedsnail [at] hotmail [dot] ca to get the recipes! Testers will get a complimentary copy of the finished project! Testing begins in April!

Cooking from VeganMoFo: Socca

Remember VeganMoFo? I made a list of some of my favorite MoFo posts and resolved to make some of them over the course of the year. That original post is here. I am already a little behind, having only made mashed plantains so far. However, I made some socca today.

These were mad easy and pretty tasty. I like having recipes for quick breads/flatbreads/biscuits that I can make to accompany the main dish. It makes me feel so accomplished as a cook - like I have a super power or something (which I do... shhh!).

Socca: original inspiration from here
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

Mix ingredients together. (Apparently this can be made ahead of time - like 2 hours ahead. I mixed and used within 20 minutes)
Preheat cast iron pan and oil generously. When the pan is hot add enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan and be about 5 mm thick. The edges will firm and change color. Flip when the firmness is almost to the center of the circle.
Flip. Cook other side for a few minutes.
Finished!

Apparently you can bake or broil these. Broiling scares the socks off of me!
