Not everyone loves coconut. In fact a lot of people hate it, so this post may not be for you 🙂 however if you (like me) love all things coconut then you will loves these cookies. They have a very intense coconut flavour and even has hints of coconut texture.

This recipe is based on a vanilla chocolate chip cookies however butter is totally replaced with coconut oil and added in raw desiccated coconut. These cookies are definitely not on the light side as they are made with a lot of oil and both brown and white sugar but they do taste amazing 🙂

So let’s get to it.

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 10 – 12 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Yield: 20 – 24

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (350g) plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 195g coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup (75g) desiccated coconut
  • 100g milk chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with grease proof paper.

Start by gently melting the coconut oil on a small pan. Once turned into liquid take off the heat and allow to cool.

In a medium bowl sieve the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the desiccated coconut to the flour mixture but not through the sieve. In a large bowl sieve together the two sugars.

Poor the cooled coconut oil into the sugar, mix well. Next add in the two eggs and vanilla, mix again.

Now add in the dry ingredients (flour, desiccated coconut, baking soda and salt) all in one go. Fold and mix until completely combined.

Next add in the chocolate chips. Fold the dough until the chips are mixed through. If you find the dough is slightly too dry and not forming, add a tablespoon or two of milk.

Use a cookie/ice cream scoop to form dough balls about the size of a golf ball.

Place on your baking tray with enough space to spread as they cook. I put about 6 on a medium baking sheet.

Cook for around 10 – 12 minutes until just going golden around the edges for a chewy cookie.

Enjoy warm with a glass of milk.

I’ve really enjoyed this unit of the function, digestion and metabolism of proteins. I now appreciate this form of energy and building block for our body and going to have fun experimenting with my own protein intake in my diet such as including protein in my breakfast to stay fuller for longer and prevent snacking in the evening. #protein #nutrition #nutritiontips #foodblogfeed #foodblogger #nutritionaltherapy #nutritionist #macronutrients #nutritionmatters

My new faaaaavourite smoothie ingredient – hulled
My new faaaaavourite smoothie ingredient - hulled hemp seeds. I’ve been focusing on ways to intake omegas 3 and 6 lately as I want to ensure my kids are getting it too. I’ve never liked eating fish which really pains me, I tried salmon a couple of weeks ago and it was OK. I don’t think I enjoy eating it though. I also visited a health food store in Stockton Heath called @pbpshopuk , it’s amazing, they have health foods on dispensers and you just fill up your own jars! I seen these hulled hemp seeds which are high in omega 3&6. I have used them in smoothies and it is so delicious, it gives a very nutty taste and makes the smoothie very thick and creamy, very nice for breakfast. And my kids are loving it too. This smoothie here was; vanilla almond milk, banana, passion fruit, frozen mango and hulled hemp. It was delicious! #hemp #smoothierecipes #healthfood #nutrition #passionfruit #foodblogger #foodblogfeed #deliciousandnutritious #plantbased #omega3 #poweredbyplants

Could this be true?! I have to test it out. This could explain why some months I have bad pms - when I haven’t been eating very well and some months I don’t notice it at all as I include these seeds into my diet daily when I’m keeping up the good work. #seedcycling #seedrotation #hormonebalance

Oh how I’ve missed how my body feels on a plant
Oh how I’ve missed how my body feels on a plant based diet. My gut has not been right thus my mind has not either. I see no need for meat anymore when I can have delicious dishes like this one with so much flavour and every macronutrient, fibre and micronutrients for a balanced meal. As I read more from Dr Megan Rossi - the gut health doctor, I realise the importance of fibre for gut health and digestion, to keep everything moving along and avoid that feel sluggish, tired and fat feeling that we all hate so much. This meal is very high in fibre from the Chickpeas, quinoa, spinach and tomatoes.

Some seeded sourdough to celebrate the end of my assignment! I’ve learnt so much about the link between stress and weight gain and how the diet we choose can temporarily affect our genetics. I have a whole new level of respect for my body. #nutritionaltherapy #nutrition #sourdough #wildyeast #seededsourdough

A recipe from @pritchardswyd recipe book that I got for Christmas. A sweet, tangy, fresh and delicious raw salad that hits every spot on the ole taste buds. I love love love adding nuts into savoury dishes. Not only for taste and texture but for fullness from the essential fats and protein they provide.  The dressing in this salad is amazing, including whole grain mustard which I’m usually not keen on but it really does add an amazing punch to this salad. #rawvegan #vegandressings #plantbased #salads #vegan #vegansalads #saladbowl #delicious #healthysalads #rawfood #foodblogfeed #healthyrecipes
