Our good friend Joanne, who is on the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) and who also cannot eat eggs was very excited to find this recipe from the Nuilife Coconut Oil company. She brought us a sample to try and they are DELICIOUS. These will especially appeal to those who cannot tolerate eggs, or who prefer to be vegan. They are also excellent as a “breakfast cookie” or as a healthy vegan high protein snack.
Ingredients
¼ cup Niulife coconut oil or butter, softened
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted coconut flour
½ cup peanut butter*
½ cup honey
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup mixed nuts or seeds
½ cup raisins or dried fruit
Method
Mix peanut butter, honey, coconut oil and salt together.
Stir in coconut flour and mix thoroughly. With your hands work in flaked coconut, nuts, and raisins.
Roll mixture into 3 – 4cm balls, place on a greased biscuit tray.
Flatten balls to a diameter of about 5cm.
Bake at 180º C (360°F) for 10 -12 minutes or until golden brown. When hot, cookies are soft & crumbly so allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from tray.
Makes about 18 biscuits.
*In place of peanut butter you may use raw almond, macadamia, cashew or other raw nut butter.
