The healthy, rich, and delicious coconut is a super food. Many people who are
not familiar with the coconut have a misunderstanding about this miracle fruit
that is grown in tropical land. They think the coconut is for creamy dessert
only. However, the coconut now is the latest trend of healthy, super food
supplements that are added into our meals daily – from the coconut oil replacing
butter for baking and coconut milk instead of cow’s milk for lactose intolerant
people. The oil pulling method has been an old tradition to fight germs from
the East and coconut oil is leading trend now. Gargling 1 tbs of coconut oil in
your mouth in the morning for 30 minutes will help to keep the gums healthy. I
was born in a country where the coconut is a daily food at the table and other parts
of coconut trees are used for anything else in and around the house. The leafy
branches cover the roof for the house and the coconut shell becomes a bowl and
spoons to serve. Other uses of coconut oil are to moisturize the skin and to keep
the hair looking shiny. It does not surprise me that now the West starts to
know how wonderful the coconut is. Today, I will introduce an easy recipe using
the coconut oil, coconut flour, and flaxseed meal to create super cookies to
satisfy the yearning for sweetness. In the morning, this cookie can become a
life saver for busy people who have no time for breakfast.
Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
1 cup flaxseed meal
3/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Wet ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cup melted coconut oil, cooled
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Place all the wet ingredients into a blender and blend well.
Pour the blended wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients mixture
and mix well.
Use a small ice cream scoop to drop the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet
spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove the cookies and let cool on the rack.
