Gluten Free Healthier No Sugar, Nut Butter and Oat Cookies

Healthier Nut Butter and Oat Cookies 
Recipe makes two dozen tablespoon-drop cookies 

Ingredients: 
3 Tablespoons butter 
2/3 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup milk (or milk substitute:  rice milk, almond milk, soy milk, hemp milk, etc) 
1 1/2 cups gluten free certified rolled oats 
1/2 cup flaxseed meal (or ground flaxseeds) 
1/3 cup almond or other nut butter 
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (or 2 teaspoons, you are cinnamon fans!) 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1/3 cup crushed walnuts (measure after crushing) 

 Directions: 
  1. Put oats, flaxseed meal, nut butter, cinnamon, and walnuts into a medium mixing bowl. 
  2. Boil butter, milk and agave nectar together for 2 minutes. 
  3. Pour hot liquid over the dry ingredients. 
  4. Add the vanilla extract. 
  5. Stir well to coat all dry ingredients evenly. 
  6.  Set aside for 5 minutes. 
  7. Preheat oven to 350F. 
  8. Drop cookie mixture by the tablespoon on to parchment paper. 
  9. Bake at 350F for 8 - 10 minutes or until golden. (Baking for this time makes for a softer cookie. Bake for 10 - 14 minutes if you wish to have a firm, crunchy cookie.) 
  10. Allow to cool before moving to storage container or eating.

Happy GF Cookie Baking!
