For those days when you need a cookie with your cup of tea/coffee. The perfect combination of vanilla and coconut to satisfy all of those sweet cravings.
Parsnips are one of my least favourite veggies – mainly because my mum used to overcook the hell out of them and feed them to me only at Christmas – which left less room for dessert. Using them in cookies is totally okay by me though – in fact, when grated and mixed with shredded coconut, you’d never know it was in there. Parsnips are packed with vitamin C in addition to an impressive range of other micronutrients. Winning!
Tigernuts are not actually nuts – deceptive little things. They are however, just as delicious, and their flour makes crumbly, delicious cookies that you won’t be able to leave alone. Consider this your warning, tiger.
I love cookies. I love breakfast. It’s a no brainer right?
Okay, so you’re thinking cookies to start the day might not be a top nutritional option, but these are seriously going to trump your cafe-bought alternative. As it turns out they’re gluten free, refined sugar free, and vegan too! Make in advance and grab on-the-go for a healthy snack during the week.
The almond meal and seeds pumps up the protein, so they won’t leave you hungry 10 minutes after devouring them!
While I LOVE Nutella and cookies {preferably both at the same time}, the sugar content is off the charts. Since adopting a healthy lifestyle and losing 14 kilos, they no longer make it in my cupboard. These cookies are my healthy take to satisfy both cravings. Deliciously soft, gooey and packed of all-natural ingredients, there’s no food coma waiting for you at the end. In addition, they are sugar, dairy free and gluten free, so they won’t hurt your waistline either. The perfect accompaniment to a hot mug of tea, or if you’re up for a little indulgence, a glass of homemade chocolate almond milk.
Don’t miss out on a tasty easter because you’re avoiding the toxic high-sugar fat bombs that line the shelves of every store. You can whip these up in 15 mins – including bake time!
