Make Traditional Recipes Healthy & Fun

While we’re on the path towards optimal health, we also want a treat now and then.

Whether it’s my homemade vegan brownies or your favorite snack or protein bar from your local health food store…it’s really fun to try new recipes.  I like to take regular recipes like your traditional oatmeal cookie and tweak it to my liking.  I highly suggest you do the same – it’s fun!

Please check out this following recipe of mine that I created.  It’s a scone textured oatmeal cookie made with chocolate rather than raisins AND it’s HIGH IN FIBER…WOO-HOO!  Let’s go!

 

Cyn’s Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Prep:

Preheat conventional oven to 350 degrees

Mix 1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds with 3 Tablespoons water in a small bowl (this is your egg replacer)

Then Mix the following really well in a large bowl:

Ingredients:

2 cups gluten-free and/or organic oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 cup vegan butter

1/2 cup organic cane sugar

1/2 cup almond butter (or nut/seed butter of your choice)

3/4 cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs

1 tsp. pure organic vanilla extract

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. baking soda

Directions:

After mixing above ingredients, also mix in your small bowl of ground flax seed and water, then roll or pat into flat cookie shapes onto non-stick cookie sheets or ones lined with parchment paper.

Bake for about 12 – 18 minutes or slightly golden brown on the edges.

Be careful when taking out of the oven, since they may break before cooling.

ENJOY!

 

I hope you like these non-traditional, high-fiber, vegan snacks.  If you have any recipes that you’d like to share with me, please comment below or message me on Facebook .

Be well!
