Yesterday I decided to make three ‘desserts’ for a 4th
of July party I went to. I of course wanted them to be healthy so I ended up
making two different kinds of gluten free cookies and a Greek yogurt treat.
Chocolate Chip Almond Cookies
1 cup almond meal or flour
Shake of salt
1/8 t. baking soda
3 T. melted coconut oil
2 T. honey
1 T. vanilla extract
Handful of chocolate chips {I did two CC per cookie because
I’m OCD like that}
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine dry ingredients
Combine oil, honey and vanilla
Mix wet and dry ingredients together
Place cookies on cookie sheet
Bake 8 minutes
Makes 10 cookies
1 cookie = 123 calories, 10.7 grams of fat, 4.8 grams of
sugar, 2.5 grams of protein
{On My Fitness Pal as Bailey CC Paleo Almond Cookies}
These cookies were absolutely FABULOUS. Like I may have had
6 in one day… They taste like a 7 layer bar between the chocolate, almond flour
and coconut oil. Delicious.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
½ cup of honey
1/3-cup coconut oil
1/3 cup pumpkin puree {I used straight from pumpkins in the
fall, if you used canned look for the only ingredients to be pumpkin}
1 egg
¾ cup coconut flour
1 t. baking side
A shake of salt
1 T cinnamon
A few handfuls of chocolate chips {I did 3 per a cookie}
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix wet ingredients (honey, pumpkin, eggs, oil)
Add dry ingredients together
Stir in chocolate chips
Bake 8 for minutes
Makes 15 cookies
1 cookie = 105 calories, 6.6 grams of fat, 9.5 grams of
sugar, 1 gram of protein {on My Fitness Pal as Baileys Pumpkin cookies with CC}
These cookies were yummy straight out of the oven when they
were warm. When they cooled down they started to crumble. The taste was still
good I would just try to change something about the recipe to make them stay
together better.
Greek Yogurt Bites
1 cup of Plain Greek Yogurt {I used two percent fat because
fat is HEALTHY}
A few drops of liquid stevia
Berries
I coated mini muffin tins with coconut oil then placed in
the freezer for 1 hour.
These tasted yummy when they sat out for a few minutes. When
they were extremely frozen it was hard to eat.
I hope y’all had a great 4th of July!!!
