vegan oat crescent cookies
These vegan oat vanilla crescent cookies have simple ingredients, are easy to make but definitely don't lack in taste. You can also make them gluten free!
Ingredients
- 300 g oat flour *
- 100 g sugar/ granulated sweetener
- 100 g hazelnuts
- 140 g plant based butter soft
- 100 g apple sauce
- 2 Tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 Tsp baking soda
- 1 Tsp freshly grated lemon zest
- powdered sugar, for coating
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl mix together all the ingredients for the cookies until well combined. This will work best using an electric hand mixer to make sure the dough is smooth. Roll into a ball and let sit in the fridge for 30 min.
- When the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 180C. Take a part of the dough and roll it into an about 1,5-2 cm thick string. Cut the string into equal part (about 4cm long each) and form little crescents by bowing the ends to the middle and making the edges a bit thinner. Repeat the process until there is no more dough left.
- Layer the shaped crescents onto a lined baking tray. Bake for about 7 minutes until golden.
- Coat in powdered sugar/ sweetener immediately while still warm. This will make sure that the sugar will hold onto the cookies. Store in an airtight cookie box or container. Enjoy!
- The cookies will last for about a week-but honestly, it is going to be very unlikely that you still have some left by that time!
Notes
*I made my own oat flour by blending the same amount of rolled oats in a high speed blender
**This recipe will make a rather small batch. I suggest you add an extra half of the amounts of ingredients or double them if you'd like to make more!
