Eating right does not mean that I have to stop eating things that I love and with Christmas right here I love to bake. Here is a recipe that my son and I love to make and they are so good.

Total Time 26 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 egg sub flax egg
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 teaspoon almond milk or sub other nut milk
  • 1 mashed banana
  • 2 tablespoons coconut nectar or sub liquid sweetener of choice
  • 1/3 cup cashew butter or sub other nut butter
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 scoops collagen optional
  • 1 scoop protein powder optional
  • 3/4 bar of dark chocolate bar I use Clean Chocolate
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 162 degrees c (325 f)
  2. Mix together egg, coconut nectar, coconut oil, almond butter, almond milk*
  3. Stir in coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and some sea salt. Let sit for about 5 minutes to let the coconut flour absorb some of the moisture
  4. Fold in chocolate chunks, leaving some on the side for later
  5. Place parchment paper down on a baking sheet and drop cookie dough blobs using a spoon- making about a 10-12 cookies. Place some more chunks of chocolate on the cookies and sprinkle with sea salt. Place in oven for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Keep an eye on them as coconut flour is a bit tricky to cook with!
  7. *can add more milk if needed after adding flour- coconut flour is a bit trickier to cook with so have a look at the consistency. 1/3 teaspoon was enough for my recipe
  8. **can broil for 1-2 minutes for an added crunch factor
