You'll eventually get to know that I'm a huge fan of cakes, cookies and dessert in general! As we all know however cakes are full of sugar, white flours, butter, oil and a hell fo a lot of bad ingredients. I've searched high and low for cake and cookie recipes to satisfy my sweet cravings but still remain healthy. I've come across this recipe on http://www.cleanfoodcreativefitness.com/chocolate-coconut-paleo-cookies/. Take a look at that to view the original recipe. I have tweaked it a little to make it a tad healthier. Also, Australia lacks a lot of the ingredients that the US gets so I try to look for alternatives that we can find in our local grocery store. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 4 teaspoons of stevia/natvia
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4-1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbs. coconut oil
- 1/3 water
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 175 degrees
- Line a flat baking tray
- In a bowl combine your dry ingredients
(coconut, coconut flour, stevia/natvia, baking powder and baking soda)
- Next add in your eggs, egg whites,
coconut oil, and water and mix until blended
- Lastly mix in the chocolate chips. Make
sure they are finely chopped so they spread throughout the cookies, you
can add more chocolate if you prefer your cookies chocolatier
- Take a small chunk of mix, roll into
small balls and push into flat cookie shapes on the tray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until done!
Enjoy!
