Hello sunshines!
Who doesn’t like a crunchy and delicious cookie?
Most store bought cookies are filled with white flour, white sugar and unhealthy oils, a combination that sends our blood sugar levels to extremes, creates uncontrollable cravings and contributes to a staggering number of health issues.
So what’s a cookie monster to do?
Make these amazingly yummylicious and healthy cookies instead. They are easy as 1-2-3 and they are rich with lots of good stuff which spells: satisfying!!! Unlike commercial cookies that “make” you eat the entire package, one or two of these cookies will be enough to satisfy you and bring a smile to your taste buds.
Here’s how to make them:
1 cup cashews
1 cup rolled oats (not instant oats)
1 cup whole spelt flour (lower in gluten and more digestible that whole wheat flour but you can use whole wheat instead)
Put in blender or food processor and grind to a flour consistency. Place in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl whisk together
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Until well blended
Mix dry and wet ingredients.
With wet hands form into balls and flatten on parchment lined baking sheet. Make a thumb print in the middle of each cookie and fill with a cashew, almond or whole fruit jam.
Bake at 350º F or 180º C for 15-20 minutes.
The cookies will come out soft and warm but will get crispy as they cool, they are delicious both ways!
Enjoy and please share this recipe with your health loving friends.
