Tomorrow we have been invited out for lunch. I have been I have already eaten enough with R. to know that she rarely eats dessert. What can I take that she will enjoy? She told me that growing up in the '50s in Northern Europe her diet was mostly potatoes, rye bread and salty oatmeal,and that salty oatmeal is a particular comfort food. She also told me she eschews most sweets, but does like bitter-sweet chocolate. So, I went in search of a gluten-free chocolate chip salty oatmeal cookie recipe. The internet is great that way. Here is an adaptation of another recipe (that is an adaptation of yet another)*. It is super! I've just adjusted it to use what I have available (and because I don't ever use canola oil). Hope you enjoy it too! 1 C. Coconut Flour 2/3 C. Steelcut Oats, ground in food processor 1 C. Palm Sugar (or other sweetener of choice) 1 tsp. Cinnamon 1 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt 1 tsp. Baking Soda 1 T. Chia Seed, ground in coffee bean grinder (or blender) 3/4
