Recipe Tips
*A Note on Coconut Coconut is technically a fruit. While most allergists do not consider it a tree nut, if you are nut allergic, ask your doctor if coconut is safe for you.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours, starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple sugar, maple syrup, oil and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and stir until the batter is completely smooth and fairly thick. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
- Combine 1/4 cup maple sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Scoop dough by the heaping tablespoon, roll into balls and gently toss in the cinnamon maple sugar to coat. Place dough balls about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and flatten slightly.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, or until barley browned around the edges and longer shiny on top. They should look a bit underdone. Cool 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
