Tiff's Vegan Oatmeal Cookies: Dairy, Wheat, Egg Free

Some of my dearest loved ones have severe food allergies to gluten, dairy, and eggs. So I was inspired and determined to come up with a recipe for soft, oatmeal cookies that they could enjoy. Recently, after listening to an interview on Gnostic Media with Dr. William Davis based on his book "Wheat Belly," I have decided to experiment with my own household wheat intake. For instance, I've rid our diets of wheat products and by-products, resorting to either brown rice or sprouted sunflower! SO, I wanted to share my recipe with you all during the Winter Solstice.

Here's my recipe for awesome soft Oatmeal Raisin cookies that are WHEAT, DAIRY and EGG Free! 

1.5 cups rice flour
3/4 cup oats (I put mine in the grinder)
1.5 tsps baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup grapeseed oil OR Vegan Butter melted
1/2 cup sugar (I used organic cane sugar; in the past I've used turbinado)
1 tsp vanilla
1.5 tsps egg substitute (ener-g) OR ground Flax Seed (I used ground flax)
2 tbsps water
2 tbsps maple syrup OR 1/2 Mashed Banana 
3/4 cup raisins
2 tbsps rice milk (I used 1/4 cup when mashing banana)

Baked on 375 for 10 minutes and they come out so delicious!
