I make these as a substitute for the more expensive Cliff bar energy bars. They are not very sweet, but the taste is still satisfying and they provide long lasting energy as they have a very low glycemic index. My 4-year old loves them. Ingredients:
1 cup oat flour or 1 cup millet flour |
1/2 cup coconut flour |
1 cup almond meal |
3/4 cup almond milk |
1/2 cup sunflower seed butter |
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum |
1/4 cup honey |
1/2 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients well. If mixture is too dry/clumpy add a little extra almond milk. Form into 1 inch balls, and press surface lightly with fork to flatten a little.
2. Cook at 350 for 14 to 16 minutes.
3. Cookies will not rise or enlarge much in size, and they will be dense - more like an energy bar consistency.
4. I've also made this as true bars - just press into a pan, bake about 20 min and cut into rectangles.
5. The recipe works fine with regular flour, and you may substitute any type of nut butter. We just happen to be a gluten-free household, and I like the flavor of the coconut flour in the cookies.
