Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic oat flour (plus extra for rolling and adjusting consistency of dough)
- 1/2 cup organic all natural peanut butter
- (*** make sure it is xylitol / birch sugar-free***)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened organic applesauce
- 1 Tablespoon organic honey
- 1 organic egg (large) and extra egg whites to do an egg wash on twists before baking
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, applesauce, honey and egg. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the oat flour, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can add a little more oat flour until it forms a consistency you’re comfortable working with
- Divide the dough into small portions and with your hands, roll each into thin ropes (about 1/4 inch thick)
- Twist two “ropes” together to create a spiral pattern. Gently press the ends to secure the twists.
- Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a basting/pastry brush, put a thin coat of egg whites on twists
- Bake for 20-25 minutes if you want your cookies to be firm and slightly soft in the center. For a crunchier cookie, bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Allow the twists to cool on a wire rack completely before serving
