Millet Maple Ginger Cookies are great alone, with your choice of milk, a good tea or crumbled over a good bowl of ice cream.

Hoping you enjoy them as Alexx did creating the recipe.

These great treats are Gluten Free and Gluten Free/Casein Free if you substitute Olive or Coconut Oil for the better

Serves: 20 to 24 cookies
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 13 to 14 minutes to bake / 10 minutes to cool

Ingredients:

• 2 cups millet flakes (you could do oat or quinoa flakes too)
• 1 cup tapioca or arrowroot flour
• 1/4 cup organic granulated rapadura or raw sugar
• 4 flat tsp ground ginger (a 5th if you like it with a real kick)
• 100 g butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp bicarb soda
• 1 tbsp water

OPTIONAL:

• 1 tsp additional sweet spices of some kind. Alexx added vanilla powder – but you could do cinnamon, pumpkin spices, all spice.  Just not a tsp of nutmeg as that would be too overpowering.

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 170C / 340F, fan forced is fine, it’ll be just a couple of minutes faster to cook.
2. Get 2 baking trays out and line with grease proof paper/parchment.
3. Mix your flour, flakes, ginger, spices and sugar into a big bowl.
4. Melt the butter into the maple syrup on the stove in a pan on medium heat.
5. Add the bicarb soda and water to the bubbling butter / maple pan and stir through for 20 seconds or thereabouts.
6. Then pour that liquid mixture into the dry bowl and stir through well.
7. Now ball into your hands about a bliss ball size and press to flatten to about 0.5cm thick on your hands, then onto the tray. Leave good space between the cookies for a little expansion. 12 per standard baking tray is perfect.
8. Place in the oven and bake until the cookies start to brown a little around the edges – about 13-14 minutes.
9. Take out and DO NOT TOUCH or at this stage they’ll fall apart. Let them cool for 10 minutes on the tray itself and THEN transfer to the cookie cooling rack. 

Tips:

The cookies are mega crunchy, textural, spicy and absolutely perfect with a cup of tea.
