How to make feta cheese oatcookies
Good evening and happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it! I hope you are all safe and sound. Even though we are through an extremely challenging year, it is still Christmas season and holiday treats can cheer everyone up! Christmas snacks are usually sweet, so today I made feta cheese oatcookies; savoury, gluten free and very easy to make. Again, feta cheese is proven to be one of the most useful multi-purpose igredients! Feta is also naturally salty, so you dont need to add extra salt on top. If you enjoy Greek food and Mediterrenean cuisine, you will love this super easy feta cheese recipe!
Oat flour is not frequently found at the grocery stores, but it can be made of oats with a food processor within seconds! Thus, baking with oat flour can be convinient because oats are a staple food in many households and it is also a very healthy alternative to white flour regarding micronutrient intake and fibre content!
A few recipe tips before we start!
- If you need to be sure the recipe is completely gluten free, choose gluten free oats and gluten free baking powder! Oats are naturally gluten free, but there is a risk of cross-contamination unless they are labelled as gluten- free.
- The dough is very firm, so feel free to use your cookies before baking!
- Choose either the conventional heating setting of your oven or the fan setting! The heat will be evenly distributed and the oatcookies will be extra crispy.
- The oatcookies taste amazing when they are hot and in room temperature!
- It would be better to store t the cookies in a sealed container or food bag if they are not consumed within a day.
- You could add dried oregano instead of dried basil! It will taste great as well!
Time to move on to the recipe! Thank you so much for reading and please your star rating in the summary box at the end of the post and in my Google business account!
