Gluten free Snickerdoodles use bananas, oat flour, apple sauce, and other simple ingredients to keep this snickerdoodle recipe vegan and healthy without losing flavor.
Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease.
In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Beat the oil and sugar at medium-high speed until light, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add apple sauce + bananas, beating well after addition. Add in vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat 30 seconds more. At low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until just blended
In a separate bowl, make the topping by mixing cinnamon and sugar together.
Refrigerate dough for 30 mins to 1 hour.
Roll the dough into ~1 inch balls, then roll into cinnamon sugar mixture to coat completely. Flatten cookies into the desired shape on a cookie sheet. Tthey won't spread out much in the oven.
Bake cookies 12-15 minutes until tops are crinkly and they are puffed and browned around the edges. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
Store cookies in your fridge to make them last longer + serve with coffee :)
