Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

This is by far the best cookie I have ever eaten! I'm serious! I gave myself a huge pat on the back for these! I even enjoyed them while the monsters, I mean kids, played in the bath.


Ingredients

1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Cup Ancient Grains Gluten-Free Flour Mix
1/2 Cup Stevia
3 Tbsp. Warm Water
1 Tbsp. Ground Flax
1 Banana
1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
3 Cups Gluten-Free Oats
1/2 Cup Craisins

Directions

1. Preheat Oven 350 F
2. Mix Flax and Warm water and sit for 8 minuets to form gel.
3. Mix all ingredients, including flax gel, with a mixer
4. Use a spoon to form small balls of dough. Press balls onto a non-greased cookie sheet
5. Bake at 350 F for 10 minuets



Blow your mind Brownies




I have to say I was a little reluctant to experiment with brownies. I recently made some Coconut Flour Brownies that were a total flop. So, with some tweaking I came up with the perfect recipe. It tastes absolutely wonderful! Even if you aren't a Vegan, have Celiacs disease, or are Food Allergy ridden. I can honestly say these brownies will hit the spot. Better than hit the spot, they are packed with Protein and Healthy Fats. Even Better than that they have NO SUGAR! Are you serious right now? I know right! A healthy brownie? I'm sold! Here's the recipe.


Ingredients for Brownie

1 Cup Quinoa
1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder
1 + 1/4 tsp. Sea Salt
2 Tbsp. Ground Flax
6 Tbsp Warm Water
1/4 Cup Bee Free Honey 
1 Tbsp. Grapeseed Oil
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
1/4 Cup Water
1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinager 
1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract

Directions 

1. Preheat Oven to 325 F
2. Mix Flax and Warm water to form gel. Let sit for 8 minuets
3. Mix all other ingredients together with the flax gel. Pour batter into a greased pan. (I use coconut oil for grease)
4. Bake at 325 F for 20 minuets and let cool when done.

Now for the Icing

Ingredients for Icing

A Dash of Coconut Milk
8 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
5 Tbsp. Pure Maple Syrup
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder

Directions

Beat on high for a few minuets until smooth. Pour onto cooled Brownies. Refrigerate before serving.
