Gluten Free Vegan Magic Bars

Magic Bars are layered bar cookies that originally stared out with a graham cracker crust and ended up with a can of sweetened condensed milk poured all over? Possibly they are called Magic Bars because they come together in a flash and something about that sweetened condensed milk just pulls the whole thing together.

Here's How to Bake Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

Men, women and children from all of the country are making the switch to gluten-free eating. Some of them are diagnosed with celiac disease; some have issues with ADD etc. In the beginning it may seem like many of your favorite foods like breads, cakes and cookies are now on the forbidden food list. We've come a long way since the early days of gluten free living. There are now thousands of products and many thousand gluten-free recipes out there for you to enjoy. This gluten free oatmeal cookie recipe is one of my personal favorites.

Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

Cookie Bake

1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup light-brown sugar 1/4 cup regular sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla 3/4 cups gluten-free flour 1/2 tsp baking soda dash of salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 large egg 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 1 1/2 cups gluten free oats 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Soften the butter on the counter so it will be easier to work with. Cream the butter and both the brown and regular sugar with a hand mixer or use your kitchen mixer. The egg and vanilla should be incorporated next. Take your time and keep blending until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, gum, cinnamon and salt. Give those dry ingredients a good stir, then work it into the egg mixture. Add the oats and then the raisins (if you are using them) to the batter and stir until they are well mixed in.

Scoop one tablespoon of batter onto a greased baking sheet per cookie. Keep working until you have your cookie sheet filled up. I like to work with two large spoons to do this, but a melon scooper or small ice cream scooper work as well.

The cookies will need to bake for about 12 minutes. A golden brown color will let you know that it's time to take the oatmeal cookies out of the oven. Let the cookies cool for a good five minutes on the sheet, then move them to a wire rack. Store the finished cookies in a zip-lock bag.

This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Of course you don't have to bake all your cookies and other gluten-free treats from scratch. You can get all kinds of baking mixes and even finished gluten free products at local grocery stores and online at websites that specialize in gluten-free products. They are the perfect alternative. There are even some premade cookies that you can purchase that taste pretty decent.

In short, you do not have to give up on your favorite treats when you have to switch to eating gluten free.

Bake Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies That Taste Like Regular Peanut Butter Cookies

If you're reading this article then you are probably diagnosed with Celiac Disease or know someone who has been diagnosed with this illness. It never ceases to astound me how many restrictions this illness can put on your diet. Especially with hidden dangers lurking under names like Dextrin, Dextrose, or Maltodextrin.

When there are all these restrictions it's hard to find a substitute for something so common like peanut butter cookies. Even if you have Gluten free baking mix, the taste is just a little bit off and you have to experiment to find that perfect peanut buttery flavor.

Cookie Bake

There are so many things to consider when using Gluten free baking mix when your trying to achieve that peanut butter taste. Salted or unsalted butter? Brown or regular sugar? One teaspoon or two of vanilla flavoring?

Well I like to think I got it right eventually, here is my recipe for 4 Dozen Gluten free Peanut Butter Cookies. I like to add whole peanuts into the mix if there's no chunky peanut butter handy.

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose Gluten-free baking mix
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Gluten-free baking powder
2 tsp Gluten-free vanilla
1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
2 large eggs
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar

Pre-heat your oven to 350 Degrees.

It's not necessary but I like to line my cooking sheets with parchment paper.

Throw together your baking mix with your baking powder and the salt. Get a large bowl and blend your butter, peanut butter, and vanilla together. Add both your sugars and blend again.

Add half of the dry ingredients and then the eggs. I like to add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each one to make sure they mix properly. Add the remaining half of your dry ingredients to combine into a nice soft cookie dough.

Roll your dough into 1 ½ inch balls and set about 2 inches apart. Press the tops with your fingers or a fork, depending on how you want it to look when they swell up.

Depending on your oven you can bake between 14-16 minutes, but it's safe to assume you can bake until whenever your edges are lightly browned.

Now comes the hard part. Waiting until their cooled enough to be edible.
