Ingredients

• 85g dairy free margarine, such as Flora
• 75g white sugar
• 75g light brown sugar
• 1 egg 2.5 ml vanilla essence
• 75g gluten free flour
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt 110g oats
• 75g sultanas

method

1. Set Miele intensive bake function at 180°C or use 180°C fan in normal oven.

2. Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together the spread, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Next beat in the egg and vanilla essence until fluffy. Then fold together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and gradually beat into the spread mixture. Finally, stir in the oats and sultanas.

3. Use a teaspoon to drop the mixture onto un-greased non-stick cookie sheets.

4. Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. If you like them crispy, leave them in a few minutes longer. If you like them a lighter colour, take them out sooner.

5. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
