Enjoy these delicious chocolate oatmeal cookies without the guilt and feel amazing knowing you are putting Superfoods into your body! This recipe was adapted from a regular cookie recipe, but was revamped with much healthier substitutes like coconut oil (a healthy fat) instead of butter. These cookies are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low in sugar and high in antioxidants.Gather:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup Philosophie Cacao Magic
- 3/4 cup sugar, agave or honey (or a few drops of stevia)
- ½ cup almond milk
- 2 cups uncooked gluten-free oatmeal
- ½ cup almond butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ½ tsp. salt
- optional: pumpkin
- optional: 1 tbsp Philosophie Green Dream
Directions:
- Melt the coconut oil in a heavy saucepan. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the sugar and cocoa. Add the almond milk. Bring to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and blend in the remaining ingredients. (You may need to add extra oats if consistency is too thin).
- Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper. Cookies will harden as they cool.
TIP: As an extra nutritional boost, Green Dream could be added as well.
