Healthy Grain-free VERY FRENCH Cookies Recipe

Remember when you read about sugar and its harmful impact on your physical, mental and emotional health? Remember when I told you that you didn't need to be frustrated because there are so many great healthy options out there - that living a healthy lifestyle doesn't need to be boring or frustrating?

Today, I am sharing with you my first experience of baking healthy cookies. I do believe they could be tastier, but the recipe is a good one - so please give it a try and let me know if you have any tips to make it even better!

Why Use Coconut Flour?

Many people are sensitive to gluten, whether they have obvious symptoms or not. Not only people with celiac disease should avoid eating it. Unfortunately today, because of the quality and the way it is processed, gluten can attack our immune system and make us weaker over time. If you want to decrease your overall inflammation state, you should start avoiding gluten as much as possible (note: inflammation is at the root cause of approximately 90% of all modern diseases).

Coconut flour is an amazing solution.

Coconut flour is the result of fresh pressed meat of the coconut - the milk is removed, some of the oils get extracted and what is left is then grated to become flour.

Compared to other flours, it ranks highest in dietary fiber (11g per ounce) and also contains 5g of protein per ounce. It also contains lauric acid with its antiviral and antibacterial health benefits, and capric acid which may help balance insulin levels in your body.

The Recipe

For 8-10 cookies (all ingredients organic, of course)

Ingredients:

• -⅓ cup (37g) coconut flour
• -¼ cup (50g) coconut oil, melted
• -60-80g raw unpasteurised honey
• -4 fresh grated vanilla sticks (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• -¼ tsp pink Himalayan salt
• -2 whole eggs
• -⅓ cup (40g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. -Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. -In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, coconut oil, raw honey, vanilla, salt and eggs until a uniform batter is created. The batter will start off a bit runny, but will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the moisture.
3. -Add in the chocolate chips and stir to distribute them evenly.
4. -Drop spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet and gently flatten.
5. -Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden.
