If you’re looking for the perfect clean dessert recipe, look no further. These gluten-free jam dot cookies are it! They are delicious and nourishing. This recipe uses wholesome, nutritious ingredients making it a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. I love a recipe that’s both delicious and completely guilt-free! Even my kids love them which is always a nice bonus!

I especially love this recipe because it’s a rather easy ingredient list. Every ingredient on here can be easily found. There are a few steps but it’s straightforward, and an overall simple recipe to follow. The best part is they cook in 15 minutes!

The only challenge with these is getting the jam to look pretty in the middle, but I assure you they still taste delicious no matter what! I’ve gotten better at this over time. If you’re ready to bake, here are the items that you will need:

What You’ll Need

• food processor (I use the mini Cuisinart)
• 2 mixing bowls
• small pot for melting 
• whisk
• spatula

Ingredients

• 1 cup GF rolled oats
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour 
• 1 cup of raw almonds
• ½ tsp sea salt 
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground cardamom
• ½ tsp ground ginger 
• A dash of nutmeg (if you have)
• 2 tbsp orange zest
• ½ cup melted coconut oil 
• ½ cup maple syrup
• Organic raspberry jam

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350℉.
2. Pulse the almonds in a food processor until they are very fine and then place in a mixing bowl.
3. Pulse the oats into flour and mix with the almonds.
4. Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, spices, and orange zest, and mix until everything is combined. 
5. Next, in a separate small bowl mix the coconut oil and maple syrup with a whisk until thoroughly combined.
6. Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture and thoroughly combine. I use a spatula to do this. 
7. Once combined, scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, form it into a ball, and press down in the center of the ball. Continue until all your dough has been used. 
8. Fill each cookie with 1 tsp of raspberry jam.
9. Bake for 14-15 minutes or until they begin to brown on the bottom.
10. Remove and cool before serving

Enjoy!
