I'm the hugest fan of a good high energy, high fiber, high protein breakfast cookie (or snack really!). I've tried out a few recipes but need to stick to something that's grain free (and I didn't want all the sugar either).
I found this recipe and fell in love. I made a couple of changes to make it 100% what I want and make a batch almost every week (and freeze to have them ready for when I need them too).
I hope you love it as much as I do!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour ( or 1/2 cup quinoa flour)
- 3 bananas
- 1/2 apple sauce (if you want it just a touch sweeter add 4 tablespoons maple syrup)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup pecans (or nut of your choice)
- 1/2 pumpkin seeds (or pine nuts!)
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2-1 cup dried fruit (raisins, dried cranberries or other dried fruit – I LOVE apricots so I use those)
- 3 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350
- In your Kitchen Aid mix all the dry ingredients EXCEPT baking soda
- Add bananas
- Add apple sauce
- Add peanut butter and coconut
- Add baking soda
- Add dried fruit
- Make palm size balls (size of about a racquetball) and flatten into 1 inch discs non-stick baking sheet (They don’t flatten out so make them about the size you want).
- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. DON'T over bake them. They will become a bit dry so watch out for that!
Enjoy!
