| This unusual but simple recipe for sumptuous gluten-free cookies was created by illustrator Carol Kearns, whose work can be found in her online Etsy shop TheMuseumShelves. |
This recipe is so quick and easy to make yet the resulting cookies are surprisingly decadent with a rich chocolatey flavour and a lovely slightly squidgy centre. Using Hodemedod’s British grown and milled green pea flour (currently 25% off!) means that they are also gluten-free though no-one, to date, has guessed that they are made with pea rather than wheat flour.
I was inspired to add the pistachios because of the beautiful colour of the green pea flour but these cookies are wonderfully adaptable, so give them a whirl with hazelnuts and white chocolate, or substitute glacé cherries or dried apricots for the nuts.
Delicious with a cup of tea or coffee you could also serve them for pudding - still slightly warm from the oven - with a scoop of ice-cream!
Makes 12 generous cookies

Wheat bran is a wonderful ingredient if you’re looking to increase your fibre consumption as it contains over 40g of fibre in 100g of bran. It works beautifully in cakes, especially in combination with wet ingredients like sweet potato and apple, because it absorbs a lot of water, making the final bake just the right level of moist. The mouthfeel of this tea loaf is not dissimilar to corn bread.

These wholesome oatcakes with festive redcurrant relish make a wonderfully simple yet elegant addition to any Christmas table. Combining the nutty richness of oats, puffed quinoa and wholemeal flour, they’re crisp at the edges and soft within, the perfect base for a jewel-bright relish of redcurrants, berries, apple, and orange. Sweet, tangy, and lightly spiced, this colourful topping brings a burst of seasonal flavour that pairs beautifully with the earthy oatcakes. Delicious served with Greek yoghurt and honey, they make a festive breakfast, afternoon treat, or a cheerful nibble for holiday gatherings.
