I entered my very first baking contest with this recipe for Gluten Free Hemp Chia Seed Oatmeal Cookies and WON!
This is a terrific gluten free version of one of my favourite oatmeal cookie recipes. I used special ground gluten free flour I bought at a whole foods market.
The hemp and chia seed add sensational flavour and a nice crunch to these Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies.

What are the chances?! I just made my first chia seed purchase today after reading about how good they’re supposed to be for you. I got them to sprinkle in yogurt but I might have to try this instead!
Nilanjana, chia seeds are great on salads, peanut butter toast, adding to oatmeal or any kind of cereal.
