The Easiest Cookie You Will Ever Make!

The idea of healthy cookies and muffins always make me laugh.  Unfortunately,  there really is no healthy treat but there are healthier options.  Once a whole grain becomes a flower, it is at it's most refined state, which means it will hit the blood stream pretty fast and give you the yo-yo I want more carb cravings.  In my new recipe there is no refined flour from a grain and the sugar used is maple syrup which still reacts in the body as sugar but has other minerals that brown sugar and table sugar do not have, therefor it is not depleting your body of good vitamins and minerals like table sugar does.

I hope you enjoy this treat as much as I do.  Remember, it's still a treat;) 

Note:  Just a heads up the ingredients are expensive.  The almond flour is about $13.....

The Easiest Cookie You Will Ever MakeJ

Happy Holidays! 

Ingredients:  Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour, Rolled Oats (Bob’s Red Mill makes Gluten Free), Vanilla Extract, 1 Stick of Butter, Maple Syrup

NOTE:  Let butter soften – if you forget like I did throw it in the microwave or on the stove for a few minutes to soften.

Preheat oven to 350

In a large bowl mix:

2 ½ cups of Almond flour

2 cups of rolled oats

1 stick of softened butter

1 tspn of vanilla extract

2/3 cup of Maple Syrup

Stir well until all the butter has been evenly mixed in.

Use a teaspoon to place dough on cookie sheet.  Flatten the cookies slightly by patting them down gently with the spoon or your finger-tips.

Place in the oven 12-15 minutes or until cookies start to golden on top.  When you pull the cookies out of the oven YOU MUST LET THEM COOL ON THE COOKIE SHEET FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES!  If not the will crumble.

This is a gluten free cookie if you make it with gluten free rolled oatsJ

Love deeply and eat your treats wisely,
