Gluten Free Monster Cookies
These gluten free, flourless Monster Cookies are packed with gluten free oats, M&Ms, chocolate chips and peanut butter. Hit 'US Customary' under the ingredients list to view in cups - though I'd recommend using weighing scales for accuracy.
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 190 g gluten free porridge oats (rolled oats)
- 200 g peanut butter (smooth or creamy PB is best)
- 50 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 75 g light brown sugar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder (baking soda)
- 110 g chocolate M&Ms
- 100 g milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C / 170C Fan / Gas Mark 5 / 350F. Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
- Add half the oats to a food processor and blitz until they are fine. Leave the other half of the oats as they are.
- Add the peanut butter, butter, sugars and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric whisk to cream together.
- Add the eggs and beat again to combine. Do not over-mix - just mix enough until the egg is incorporated into the batter (see step-by-step photos in the blog above).
- Add the blended oats, whole oats, baking powder, M&Ms and chocolate chips. Use a wooden spoon to mix together until combined - the chocolate and M&Ms should be evenly distributed, with no dry oats visible.
- Use an ice-cream scoop to scoop balls of cookie dough onto the baking sheets, with a couple of inches between them. Press them down slightly to around 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. then remove from the oven and leave to cool for at least 10-15 minutes on the tray before moving. You can gently press a few extra M&Ms and choc chips on top while still hot if you like.
Notes
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups - I have weighed each item individually to ensure the conversion is accurate as possible. However, I always recommend using weighing scales - these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
