RECIPE NOTES
1. Nutritional yeast adds a savory “cheesiness”. Feel free to omit.
2. Dried apricots, cranberries or golden raisins are all great substitutions for the dried figs.
3. Make sure to use a gluten-free flour that contains xanthan gum. Otherwise add 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum to dry ingredients.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 425° F
2. In a small bowl, combine the flax meal and water. In another bowl, combine the SOWN™ Unsweetened Oat Creamer and vinegar. Stir gently.
3. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, nutritional yeast, and salt. Stir a few times. If using flour that does not contain xanthan gum, add xanthan gum separately here.
4. Add the cubed plant-based buttery spread (make sure it is cold!). Use a pastry blender, a knife, or clean hands to cut the buttery spread into the flour mixture until it forms pea-sized clumps. There should still be some larger chunks of buttery spread.
5. Add the flax meal and water mixture and the SOWN™ Unsweetened Oat Creamer. Stir a few times.
6. Add the remaining ingredients. Use hands to combine and bring the dough together into a loose ball. Do not overwork the dough!
7. Place dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten into a round disk approximately ½ inch thick.
8. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 equal wedges. Separate the wedges slightly to allow for even baking.
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy warm!
