Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies

These yummy delicious cookies dont last long. I made them at home and took them to bible study and I think I made them twice in one week and did not last. You dont have to be on a gluten free diet to eat these and dont require going out and buying a lot of crazy gluten free ingredients if you are not gluten free. I had most of it on hand and was excited they were well liked.

1 c brown rice flour
1/2 organic buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c coconut oil
2/3 c sucant
2/3 c honey
2 1/2 c GF oats (blended in food processor but not turned into flour)
2 egg
1 tsp vanilla ext
1 c org rasins
1 raw unsalted sunflower seeds


Whisk together the flour, soda and salt. Set aside, cream together the oil, sucant, and honey. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add the flour mix  and oats to sugar mix. Stir in raisins and seeds. Cook on 350 for 18 min.You can use different dried fruit and seeds if you want.

If you get to make this I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and bible studies ladies.
I know its been a long time since I posted on here, however Im coming back hopefully. I have two babies and Im trying to spend as much time with them as I can and right now they are sleeping, my only day not to nap this week means my only break of silence. I work in the middle of the night and sleep when my kids sleep. Im also coming back with lots of gluten free recipes as I have many reasons for that. About a month ago I got a big interest in going gluten free because if you dont soak your grains like whole wheat flour you have trouble digesting and thats one of the the many causes to why people end up going gluten free. My reason is I have extremely bad contact dermatitis / eczema on my hands and am doing my best to take care of it by going gluten free and diary free.
I hope that help anyone get to know me more if you have any other questions feel free to leave me a comment. 
I made some homemade chocolate chips from scratch two days ago and then made some flourless peanut butter cookies with them so be watching for that post.
