Cassava Peanut Butter Oat Cluster Cookies
Cassava Peanut Butter Oat Cluster Cookies are the ultimate gluten-free treat. The combination of both the cassava and oat flour makes them extra soft to bite into. Cassava and Tigernut flour are fantastic substitutes for wheat flour in cookies, and I’ve been loving the outcome of my gluten-free cookies.

When I bake, I always use parchment paper. I like using these super handy pre-cut sheets of parchment paper; silicone liners also work well.
All the candies I list in this recipe are gluten-free but not dairy or egg-free. You will find some different dairy, egg, and peanut-free options below.
To Make Cassava Peanut Butter Oat Cluster Cookies, You Will Need These Ingredients:

- Peanut butter ~ natural or regular, creamy or crunchy. Substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut-free.
- Granulated sugar ~ or beet sugar, if needed
- Brown sugar
- Lg egg ~ substitute 3 tbsp aquafaba for egg-free. Aquafaba is the liquid from canned garbanzo beans.
- Pure vanilla extract
- Milk ~ dairy-free if needed
- Cassava flour

We always seem to have a few extra toffee pieces in the candy cupboard, so I chopped some up and sprinkled it on top of each cookie before baking. Now that’s a delicious option!
