Instructions

1. Preheat an oven to 180C (fan-forced), line a large cookie tray with baking paper.
2. In a food processor place the oats and grind until a fine flour is formed. Tip the oat flour into a large bowl along with the spelt flour, almond flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Give a quick stir to incorporate the ingredients together.
3. Gently heat the rice malt syrup in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until it is runny. Add to the dry ingredients along with the apple sauce, oil, vanilla, egg and almond milk. Mix the ingredients together until a stiff dough is formed. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to firm up.
4. Place the mixture into a piping bag with a large end.
5. Pipe donut size circles onto the lined cookie tray. Smooth any edges or bumps on the top with a spatula. Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Let the cookies completely cool before icing.

Peanut Butter Glaze

1. In a microwave safe bowl add the peanut butter, salt and rice malt syrup. Heat in the microwave for 30 - 40 seconds or until runny enough to drizzle.
2. Stir together and drizzle over the cooled cookies.
