power cookies
[i got this recipe from a friend. who got it from a friend that owns a bakery. my friend tweaked a few things. and then i tweaked a few things]
what you need :
*1 cup almond meal [i buy mine from trader joes ; just called 'almond meal'][dont have a trader joes? throw some almonds in a food processor and grind them into a powder]
*1 1/2 cups raw oats
*1 cup spelt flour [if you don't have spelt, you could use another kind ; but the spelt is a nutritional powerhouse!]
*1/2 teaspoon baking soda
*1/2 cup canola oil
*1/2 cup agave [you can add maple syrup if you dont have agave, but the agave makes it taste SO great]
*2 1/2 tablespoons vanilla
*1/2 cup dark chocolate chips [you can also use semi-sweet or carob]
how to do it :
1) preheat over to 350 degrees.
2) in a bowl, mix almond meal & raw oats
3) add in spelt flour and baking soda. mix up the dry ingredients and then wet ingredients. mix it all up, till all the dry is combined.
4) i usually plop them down by the spoonful and then smoosh them out a bit.
bake at 350 for 17-20 minutes.
*if its been 20 min and you don't think they look brown enough, take them out anyway! they will end up too crunchy and you wont love them!*
