GOOD MORNING COOKIE

 

No better way to start your day with a cookie. Especially this one is loaded with healthy ingredients. For protein and fiber, I add oats and nut butter. Both of these gives you a boost of energy and will keep you full thought-out the day. 

I came up with these cookies for my husband when we started intermitting fasting he tends not to eat until he comes home from work. That would be too long of a fasting time for him. So these babies are perrrrfect for him to grab and go. 

Or there also great to share one with someone you love over your morning coffee

 

Ingredients 

2 cups gluten-free oats 

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup flax meal 

2 scoops @vitalproteins (optional)

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup chopped walnuts 

1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate (optional)

1/2 cup any nut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup or coconut sugar

1 egg

 

Directions

Pre-heat oven 350 

In a medium bowl mix, all dry ingredients (except chocolate if your using it and nuts) then incorporated the wet ingredients. Now you can add nuts and chocolate. Mix until chocolate is well incorporated.  

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper portion out with small ice-cream scope cookie dough and flatten with your hand.

Bake for 10-12 minutes for soft cookie 12-15 minutes for a crunchy cookie. Let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.

When I put chocolate chunks in them I can not wait'till they cool just a tall glass of almond milk.
