20 servings
For the flax egg
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp water
For the cookies
- Ā½ cup vegan butter, softened
Ingredient noteThough high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of dairy free butter (~1 1/4 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD.
- ā cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh orange zest (from about 1 large orange)
Ingredient noteThis recipe uses the peel rather than the juice, and peel has very little of the acid that brings on reflux. The small amount here is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid orange peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 Ā½ cups almond flour
- Ā½ cup all-purpose flour

For rolling
