These glutenfree Satsuma Multigrain cookies have a beautiful citrus flavor
Jump to Recipe
Its that time of the month again! and this month is #citruslove .
Satsumas are Japanese citrus fruits similar to mandarin Oranges, seedless and easy peeling and sweet! You can use any medium orange variety as a substitute. I have a bunch of Satsumas waiting to get used up. Most end up getting juiced, but I love the peel so much that I really want to zest all of them and preserve.. I think some marmalade will soon be cooked up.
Each bite of these wafery cookies is a burst of citrus! and you wouldnt be able to guess that these are gf and vegan!

I baked up some cranberry orange cookies too, but they look like the usual vegan oatmeal cookies:) So I made these citrusy round beauties. I used a small amount of Bob’s glutenfree all purpose flour, and the flour has such a distinct garbanzo bean taste, which can be put some taste buds off especially in sweet baked goods. I think I am going to use the gf flour up to make Chilla(chickpea flour pancakes), since it has enough garbanzo bean. The gf flour makes up less than a quarter part in the recipe, it does still leave a very very slight aftertaste.. Disclaimer: my taste buds are atleast 3 to 4 times sharper than pretty much everyone in my family. 🙂 Hubbs couldnt taste it at all! Use a different gf flour if you totally dislike garbanzo bean after taste. These cookies do not need gum, oats keep them together. They are the right amount of crackly and crisp, also because of some cashews in there.

these cookies look so yummy. the citrus in them makes me yearn for summer 😉 i need to make these!
These are my kind of cookie! They’re super health too and I love every single one of the ingredients!
These crunchy looking cookies not only sound delicious but are so healthy that I am sold out to them!
The cookies look perfect. I’m so used to munching on satsumas as-is that I never think to cook with them, but what a nice idea.
Hi Richa, these cookies look delicious, in spite of them being healthy, LOL Makes a nice change from all the sickly stuff we have had around over Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

These look really lovely Richa…so crunchy munchy and full of flavours.
I love the idea of using satsuma juice in cookies. these would be perfectly paired with my morning coffee.
I never had satsumas. I like fruits without pits and seeds. I also love citrusy sweets. This look really good!
This looks yummy..Delicious
