Dreamy Almond Butter Cookies
One of my favourite things to do is bake. I find it really therapeutic and the best part is you get to try your creation at the end of it!
I adapted this recipe from one of my favourite ‘healthy bakers’ Livia’s Kitchen. I’ve tried many of Livia’s bakes, but these are definitely a favourite (and I’ve eaten a lot of cookies!)
Here’s what you’ll need
INGREDIENTS
For the cookie
80g jumbo oats
90g oat flour
50g desiccated coconut
50g coconut sugar
80g coconut oil
50g honey
For the gooey middle
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
1 tbsp coconut oil
METHOD
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and line tray with baking paper. Put the oats in the blender and make the oat flour (or you can buy this if you like) then add the jumbo oats and desiccated coconut. In your blender, mix the coconut sugar and coconut oil (from the cookie ingredients) until it forms a smooth mixture.
Add the blended mixture to the dry ingredients and give it a mix. Add the honey and then make small, flat cookie shapes and place on the tray. When the cookies are in the oven, heat the coconut oil, cacao powder, honey and almond butter on a low heat until combined. Once the cookies are firm and have a touch of colour on them, remove from the oven and leave to cool.
In this time, the chocolate icing mixture should have set slightly, so to get the gooey filling, add a small amount of boiling water and stir until you get the right consistency.
Then all you need to do is load up the cookies with icing and top with another cookie.
THEY TASTE SO GOOD.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
