What’s good about it?
Using gluten free oat flour is a great way to add soluble fibre to gluten free bakes. If you don’t have chocolate protein powder simply replace with an extra spoonful of cocoa powder.
- Preheat the oven to 180C, Gas mark 4. Grease and line a baking tray.
- In a large bowl or food processor mix together the oat flour, gluten free flour, cocoa powder, protein powder and baking powder. Add the remaining ingredients and enough dairy free milk to make a soft dough.
- Wrap in cling and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface or use two sheets of greaseproof paper dusted with a little flour.
- Cut up cookies using a round cookie cutter.
- Place on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- Leave to cool on the tray then lift and place on a cooling rack.
- To make the filling simply beat all the ingredients together until smooth. Place in the fridge to firm up.
- Spread or pipe on to a cookie and place another on top to form a sandwich.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container,
