Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 2 cup oats
  • 3/4 – 1 cup almond meal
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup honey/agave syrup
  • 1/2 cup almond butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • Dash of vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the whole raw almonds to a food processor. Process until the nuts are in small pieces.
  3. Combine the oats, almond meal and crushed almonds in a bowl with the salt and cinnamon.
  4. Melt the coconut oil and almond butter on the stove or in the microwave. Add the syrup and vanilla extract. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. Using your hands, form the dough into small golf sized balls. Make sure to really squeeze the dough together so the cookies don’t fall apart when you make a thumbprint in them. Let the balls sit for 5-10 minutes to help them set.
  6. Using your thumb, press into the centre of the cookie to flatten down slightly.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops start to turn brown.
  8. When the cookies are warm, add some healthy chocolate spread on top.. Yummaay!

Enjoy,

cacao hazelnut cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (150g) whole raw hazelnuts
  • 1/3 cup (50g) whole raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup (25g) ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (25g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp maple syrup/honey
  • dark chocolate, melted (optional)
  • desiccated coconut (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Grind the hazelnuts and almonds in a food processor until they are coarse and release just a little bit of oil. Be careful not to process for too long or you’ll have hazelnut butter!
  3. Add the ground almonds, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse a few times until well combined. It should be like a fine flour. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl.
  4. Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla and syrup to the bowl and stir the mixture.
  5. Form the dough into balls (about golf sized balls) and flatten somewhat. They don’t expand much.
  6. Bake for approximately 12 minutes.
  7. When cool, top with melted dark chocolate and dessicated coconut if preferred.

Enjoy,
