Oatmeal Cookies Eggless With Chickpea Gluten Free Flour

besan oatmeal cookies

Oats seem to have become an integral part of my cooking. I can't think of recipes without including this healthy grain - which is the healthiest of all! Earlier, my impression of oats was something bland, tasteless and boring. I never wanted to include it in my meals. But the story has changed now, especially ever since my food experiments begun and I realized the importance of this fibrous grain.

Procedure

gram flour oatmeal cookies eggless

1. Preheat oven (mw convection) at 180 degrees for 10 mts.
2. Sieve besan, oatmeal and baking powder 2-3 times so that baking powder mixes evenly with the flour.
3. In a bowl or food processor/grinder, add sugar, oil, ghee, and elaichi. Mix very well so that the mixture gets airy and fluffy
4. Chop pista and almonds and spread them over a plate. Now drop the wet mixture over these.
5. Next add the flour mixture with the wet ingredients.
6. Gather the ingredients. Do not knead.
7. If the dough feels dry, add milk. If you feel it's still dry, add one more tbsp of milk.
8. We do not want sticky dough. It should be wet enough to bind easily.
9. Make small lemon sized balls with the dough.
10. Grease a baking tray and place the flattened balls over it.
11. Make sure each cookie is placed at a distance from the other. Otherwise they will not bake properly.
12. Bake at 180 degrees for 12-14 mts. Enjoy this healthy batch of flavorful besan oatmeal cookies with a hot cup of tea.
13. These crispy besan cookies are just perfect for any occasion - remind me of besan ladoo :)
