Coconut Cookies

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.

🍜 A gut friendly noodle broth recipe suitable for coeliac, IBS and IBD. 

It can be pretty damn difficult to know what to eat when you are restricted by your diet. However there are ways to work with it and to still enjoy delicious food! Even if you are not restricted but want to improve your gut health this is a great recipe to have up your sleeve for a quick lunch or dinner. 

Visit my blog to read more about gut health and why you might need to take care of it. 

This recipe uses:

* Bone broth which is high in collagen which acts as an anti-inflammatory as well as reconstructing tissues. It can be quite difficult to find good quality broth in the supermarkets. I order mine online from @takestockfoods. Make it vegan with their vegetable broth.

* Rice noodles which are gluten free and easily digested.

* Leafy greens are anti-inflammatory and full of essential vitamins and minerals. They are also a prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria in the gut.

* Garlic and ginger are also potent anti-inflammatories as well as being a prebiotic. Although if you are following a low FODMAP diet and you are sensitive to garlic you may want to leave it out.

* Tamari is a wheat free version of soy sauce suitable for anyone with a wheat intolerance.

Ps. Totally loving the dark food photography at the minute 😍

Nutritious chocolate oat cookies 🍪 My quickest
Nutritious chocolate oat cookies 🍪 My quickest and easiest cookie recipe is a perfect snack or treat for kids. 

Slow releasing energy - made with unrefined oats and whole wheat flour for a slower, sustainable release of energy.

No refined sugar - using good quality honey for minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties

Dark chocolate - using 70% or higher cocoa chocolate makes this an excellent source of magnesium iron and zinc. Minerals essential for many functions in the body. 

Make them your own - add in any seeds and nuts you like, kids often don’t mind them when they’re covered in chocolate. I like to use chia seeds and walnuts for a boost of omega 3. 

Better fat - coconut oil has a helpful kind of cholesterol as opposed to butter. Coconut oil is especially useful for vegans rather than plant based butters which usually contain vegetable fats which can be inflammatory. 

Head to my blog for the full recipe.

I deeply appreciate the opportunity to take the time to move my body. Before I do anything else in the day I move energy through my body, expelling stagnant air in my lungs. Moving in fresh air and motivating energy. 

I spent the past 2 years ignoring self care and overriding the sluggish energy with caffeine. Pushing myself to achieve everything I want to. While it was fun and I achieved a lot, my body told me it is enough and time to rebalance myself. I feel amazing, I feel like myself. I have natural motivation, energy and vitality. I don’t need caffeine to force it. I feel this natural energy is recyclable, as appose to stimulants which is like getting in energy debt and will come at a cost to health. 

We’re always focusing on achieving everything we need to get done in a day. But we humans need a balance between our will and our desire, otherwise we will either get nothing done or lose our love for life. When we achieve this balance we are in our true power. #liveslow

✅ Health and happiness is more than just being slim and eating healthy. You could have a great diet however if your thoughts are not in the right place you could still get sick. You could exercise every day but if you are sleep deprived you are going to feel drained and find it hard to make good food choices. 

⚖️ Life really is about balance. These aspects all depend on being in balance with each other to be functioning optimally. Sleep, movement, diet and emotions all affect appetite, hormones, neurotransmitters, gut bacteria and more. 

🧬  Our bodies are constantly trying to reach equilibrium to maintain the best conditions. When our body is under stress and can’t reach that balance and has to adapt, it finds its self in dis-ease. Paying a little attention to each of these 4 important pillars will help to support our bodies in what it works so hard to do for us.
