What is Stevia? Can I incorporate some whet germ and replace the flour with oat flour?
Hello Daneila! Stevia is a no-calorie sweetener. You can use the same amount of sugar or brown sugar if that's easier! Also, I am not 100% sure how it will turn out with oat flour, but I'm sure it wouldn't be bad 🙂
Thank! I am not too keen on artificial sweetener. Can i use honey?
do you happen to have this recipe in larger amts. would love to put them in my cookie jar and just not tell anyone they are a breakfast cookie..
I would just double or triple the recipe 🙂
What is the measurement "T"?
Tablespoon. Sorry, I'll correct that! Thanks for pointing it out.
Are these crunchy or chewy cookies?
They are more chewy 🙂
I assume that you mean stevia powder as opposed to stevia liquid?
I am concerned about the amount of stevia in this recipe. I am honestly afraid to make this, because that's almost the entire 1oz container of stevia I bought at Trader Joes! Is that correct?
Hi Richard! I'm thinking you probably purchased stevia powdered extract rather than regular stevia powder. The extract is much more concentrated. 1 tablespoon of stevia powder is equivalent to about 1/4 teaspoon of stevia powdered extract 🙂
Hi Annie... Yes! That's right, I got Trader Joe's powdered extract. I ended up using about 1tsp in the recipe, which I guess is the equivalent of 4tbsp -- which was too much!
Hi Annie, Could I use honey or maple syrup instead of stevia? How much should I use?
Thank you!
Hi Alejandra!
I am not 100% sure how much you should use, but I know it can be done! I would start with adding 3 Tbsp of honey or maple syrup and then tasting the batter to see if it's sweet enough 🙂 If not, add more.
Thanks!
Annie
Can tapioca flour be used?
I have never worked with tapioca flour so I really don't know! Would love to hear how it turns out though if you do end up trying it 🙂
It's impossible to print this cookie recipe out. There are so many ADS saying "print" that it's hard to know what refers to the recipe and what is just an ad for something else. Too much clutter to even follow it. Sounds good, but couldn't get it.
Fixed it now! Scroll all the way down to the recipe card 🙂
