Nutty Chocolate Mesquite Cookies

February 11, 2015

I love making post workout cookies. You can tailor them to your own needs. I make these a lot for my husband when he’s training for any endurance sport. Right now he’s tackling another ironman. The post workout window to refuel is crucial.

1 ¼ cup rice or GF oat flour
1-2 tbsp potato flour
¼ cup coconut sugar (or cane sugar)
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (I melted brownie sweet spreads coconut butter)
1 egg
2 tbsp mesquite powder
¼ tsp Caramel extract (optional)
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup coconut or almond milk
1-2 tbsp chopped salted or roasted nuts
¼ cup enjoy life dairy free chocolate chips (you can use regular chocolate chips too)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp sea salt
Optional add ins : shredded coconut, cocoa powder, dried fruit.

Directions: Preheat oven to 350F. Next, heat your milk for 90 seconds (I learned this trick from Biju the chef), melt in your coconut oil and mix together. In another bowl, combine your dry ingredients....
