[While brainstorming a title for this post,"Super cookies" had me thinking of "super Grover" but also Cookie Monster. Now I'm thinking that "Super Cookie" would have been Cookie Monster's alter ego if such a character existed.]
Last week at Ethiopian House when everyone thought they were too full to eat another bite I brought out dessert: Maple Oatmeal Super Cookies that I’d made two days before, Meghan’s recipe. My friends guessed what was in them and then asked for the recipe. For them and you, here it is:
(Maple Oatmeal) Super Cookies
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
3 Tbsp raw honey
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp (30 ml) finely ground flax seeds
3 Tbsp whole flax seeds
1 Tbs chia seeds
2 Tbs cacao nibs
2 Tbs golden berries or goji berries (optional)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix all ingredients together with hands or spoon
- Dollop about 1 Tbs worth onto cookie sheet and form into cookie shape- not too thin though as they do flatten as they cook
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
I made minor modifications but this time I’m not going to share them. Make the above recipe and then tweak it to your own tastes. It’s a simple recipe and the resulting cookies keep well if you can avoiding eating them all. Best stored in the fridge if you like a firmer cookie, or outside the fridge if you want a pliable cookie. Don’t be surprised if your firm cookies becomes pliable – crumbly even – after a couple of hours unrefrigerated.
Want more recipes like it? It’s in Meghan’s Healing with Superfoods Guide. Buy it! It’s only $12.
And finally, since I’m on a Sesame Street theme…
“Haircuts do not hurt, but crashing through doors is quite painful”
“That gentleman is no gentleman.”
The voice actors must have laughed through so many takes of Sesame Street.
