THE 39 Calorie Cookie

WHAT? 39 Calories AND Healthy? Yep…it is TRUE!IMG_1119

These truly are good! I altered a recipe I had, by mistake, and they turned out great. Our eleven year old son will eat them so they must be pretty good. The texture is a little different, I am not gonna lie, but that does not bother me, or him, one bit. Give these a whirl next time you are wanting something a little sweet.

THE Healthy Cookie (by mistake)

-Mash 2 Ripe Bananas

Add:

-1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

-1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

-1/3 Cup Organic Raisins

-1 1/2 Cup Organic Oatmeal

-1/4 Cup Unsweetened Organic Applesauce

You can add 1/4 cup dark chocolate, nuts or seeds.

Bake @ 325 for 15-20 minutes. When you pull out of the oven you can take a knife and dip it into some raw honey and drizzle on top of cookies. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH! This just adds a little sweetness. Then sprinkle with cinnamon. If you did not want to use the honey you could sprinkle a little stevia on top with the cinnamon.

As always, if you make them let me know how you like em’! Remember, if you add the chocolate, nuts or seeds that will up the nutritional value per cookie. This recipe makes 20 cookies.

Happy Eating,

Healthy Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

These babies are GOOD!IMG_20160325_142012276

While at my aunts home one day she shared one of her sacred cookies (as she called them) with me. I typically would not have eaten one of her cookies as they were usually your typical cookie loaded with crap. BUT, when she told me the ingredients I was curious as to how good they were. Wow! I was impressed! Especially with them being Paleo friendly, Gluten free and Dairy free. I fixed these for my Birthday, so I could have a little treat, and as you know with the hubs being gluten intolerant it was a treat for him as well. Oh, I must tell you that our son loves them too!  They are a win win in our home.

-1 1/2 cup Almond Flour

-1/4 tsp Baking Soda

-1/4 tsp Salt

-2 Tbs Coconut Oil, melted (unrefined & cold pressed)

-1/2 tsp Vanilla

-1/4 cup Honey (local & raw)

-1 Egg

-1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.

Melt coconut oil (in another bowl). Then add vanilla, honey and egg. Add your dry mixture to the wet and then stir in your dark chocolate chips.

Put in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Scoop a tablespoon size ball onto parchment paper that is on a cookie sheet.

Bake for five minutes and, with a spatula, flatten gently and bake an additional 5-8 minutes. Let cool on wire rack.

If you make these please let me know what cha think!

Much Love,
