I just mixed these up and there is way more liquid than can be absorbed. Is one cup milk correct? They look delicious .
Thanks, Donna
They are a moist cookie and not like a normal cookie batter. Did you use quick oats because regular oats do make a difference in these. I only ask that because that has been the issue with others that have said my breakfast cookies were not thick enough. I always use quick oats.
I buy both in bulk and maybe I didn’t get the quick in the right container. I squeezed the liquid and they are in the oven right now. Thanks for your quick reply. I’ll make sure I use quick the next time.
Could I use regular oats? What would I have to do differently?
The regular oats change the texture slightly and also absorb the liquid different. It will work though. Start with about half of the liquid and add more as needed. This should be a really wet batter, so not like a normal cookie would be, but you don’t want it liquidy either. I hope that helps.
Can I replace the sugar with something other than another sweeter? Like, would applesauce work or do the cookie really need a sweetener? I wanna make these but we don’t typically eat sugar and I’m out of honey lol!
I think you could easily use something else for the sugar, but I have never tried it. I think applesauce would work, but it would change the taste some. Do you use coconut sugar or something like that? I think an alternative sugar would work if you adjusted the amounts.
If I use honey or maple syrup I will reduce the milk but by how much? I was thinking if I use 1/4 cup honey or syrup to reduce the milk by 1/4 cup. I love cinnamon so I am going to add more as when I made them the first time I used 1 1/4 tsp. and I liked it with that much cinnamon. I did not put the glaze on top though as too much sugar for me.
I think honey or maple syrup would work great. Yes, I would start with reducing it by 1/4 cup. If it is too thick you could always add just a little more milk. I would love to hear how they turn out if you make them that way.
I just took these out of the oven. Used gluten free rolled oats and placed the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before spooning onto the cookie sheet.
The liquid spread only a little and the end result was good.
We also watch our sugar intake and eliminated the glaze which I am sure is delicious. They are sweet enough for our taste without the powdered sugar. I like that these are flourless as I follow a strict gluten free diet and even some gluten free flours do not agree with me.
I am so glad that you enjoyed the cookies! My kids love the glaze, but I don’t always put it on either. They are delicious with or without it.
