SO it has been forever, yet again. But i'm thinking of getting back into the whole blogging thing again. maybe for real this time? haha. my life has been pretty hectic, trying to balance living with a chronic illness, eating healthy and studying to become a holistic nutritionist! But the more i learn the more i want to share with everyone, so i thought it would be fun to share recipes/tips/info on the blog along the way!
I won't get into anything too complicated tonight, but i will post a couple DELICIOUS recipes ;)
First up: HEALTHY Chocolate Chip/Oatmeal/Banana/Coconut Cookies!
Now these things are insanely addictive, so make at your own risk. Whenever i make them in my house (makes about 50 bite sized cookies) they are gone in 2 days. max. so bake with caution!
These cookies have no added sugar...or honey, or any sweetener! The banana makes them sweet, along with the chocolate chips (and only a half cup for the whole batch so indulge away! lol!) They're also great for those who are on dairy free, egg free, gluten free diets (for dairy allergies make sure you use dairy free chocolate chips, for a gluten free recipe use gluten free oats!)
Ingredients:
3 large, ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil or olive oil
2 cups rolled oats
2/3 cup almond meal (all this is is finely chopped almonds)
1/3 cup coconut, finely shredded & unsweetened
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 a cup of chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine the bananas, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Set aside. In another bowl mix the oats, almond meal, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Add chocolate chunks/chips. Drop dollops of the dough, each about 2 teaspoons in size, an inch apart, onto a lined (or greased) baking sheet. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes! Enjoy!
