Recipe by: Lauren, our Digital Outreach Director via Nutrition Facts – Brownie Sandwich Cookies Recipe Recipe by: Lauren, our Digital Outreach Director Here’s a delicious way to eat your beans! A black bean brownie cookie with a date-sweetened creamy filling. COURSE: Dessert DIFFICULTY: Moderate SERVINGS: 6 Ingredients Cookies ▢½ cup dates, pitted ▢1 ½ cup cooked black beans (or 1-15 oz BPA-free, salt-free can- drained & rinsed) ▢½ cup oats ▢2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder ▢¼ cup raw nut or seed butter ▢2 teaspoons vanilla extract Filling ▢2 tablespoons date syrup ▢2 tablespoons raw nut or seed butter ▢unsweetened soy milk or water, if needed ▢unsweetened cocoa powder, if needed Instructions Preheat oven to 395°F (200°C) Fill a 1 cup measuring cup (240 ml) halfway with dates and add just enough boiling water to cover. Let dates soak for about 10 minutes, while preparing the rest of the ingredients. Place black beans, oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and vanilla in a food processor. Add the dates along with the soaking water and process until smooth, and there aren’t big chunks of dates. Using a spoon, divide the batter into 12-24 cookies on a baking sheet lined with a silicon mat or baking paper. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let them cool on a cooling rack. For the filling, combine equal parts nut butter and date syrup – about 2 tablespoons (30 – 40 g) of each. The consistency of nut butter can vary, so if the filling is too thick, add a tiny dash of soymilk and if it’s too runny add a little bit of cocoa powder. Sandwich the cookies together using the filling and enjoy! To read the original article click here.

Recipe by: Mary, Media Director via Nutrition Facts – Banana Oat Cookies Recipe A delicious breakfast or snack using just oats, bananas, and any add-ins of your choice. Serve these banana oat cookies for breakfast with some fresh fruit or enjoy on their own as a mid-day snack! COURSE: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack DIFFICULTY: Easy SERVINGS: 4 cookies Ingredients ▢1 cup rolled oats ▢2 medium-large ripe, spotty bananas OPTIONAL ADD-INS: ▢up to 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries (raisins, nuts, seeds, or other dried, fresh or frozen fruit) ▢1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (pumpkin pie spice or other favorite spices) Instructions Preheat oven to 350F. Mash bananas with a fork in a medium-sized bowl, until a pureed consistency is achieved. In a food processor or blender, pulse the oats for 10 seconds to break into smaller fragments or blend into oat flour. This helps the cookies hold together. In a pinch, this recipe will also work with whole rolled oats. All options work, but will give the cookies a different texture. Stir the oats, mashed bananas, and any add-ins to form a batter. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, scoop out desired amount of cookie dough and press down gently to flatten into cookies. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies Recipe

Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DMN, CNS – Dark chocolate lovers, I have a special treat for you. These delicious dark chocolate almond butter cookies are not only healthier than your average chocolate chip cookie, but they are the ultimate crowd-pleaser and Paleo-friendly. Key Ingredients Using only almond butter and almond flour for a base, this all-natural dark chocolate chip cookie is nutty and chewy without the guilt of refined flour and sugar. The reason I encourage my family, friends and patients to avoid wheat is partly because of its carbohydrate structure that can raise blood sugar levels more quickly than a candy bar. Wheat also increases insulin levels, which contribute to fat storage in the body — not to mention gluten in wheat that triggers inflammation and damages gut lining. I love baking with almond butter and almond flour, not only for the heart health benefits the almond brings, but for the nutty flavor and chewy texture they add to this dark chocolate almond butter cookie recipe. Dark chocolate chips are a no-brainer for these double chocolate chip cookies, as they are not only great for boosting focus and memory, but they also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Stick with bars or chocolate chips that contain 70 percent or higher in cocoa or cacao. Speaking of cacao, I added cacao nibs to these dark chocolate almond butter cookies for an extra crunch and double chocolate flavor. Cacao nibs are a great source of sulfur and magnesium, and much like their counterpart dark chocolate, they also contain high amount of flavonols with antioxidant properties. For the remaining ingredients, I used the wonderful natural sweetener maple syrup, a pastured egg, vanilla extract and sea salt. How to Make Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a food processor, add in almond butter, almond flour, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, sea salt, baking soda and baking powder. Process the almond cookie mixture until it is smooth and well-combined. Add in cacao nibs and dark chocolate chips, and mix well. Chill the dough for 20 minutes. Shape cookies into circles, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes. Good luck keeping these keto almond butter cookies around very long!
