I've recently gotten brave enough in the last 6 months to try some paleo desserts. I normally don't ever make any desserts at all because the sugar is so addicting I can never have just one. I found the original recipe in Make It Paelo and have since altered it each time to create my own version which I like much better. They were the N' oatmeal raisin cookies, but I'm not a huge fan of raisins so I swapped out a few ingredients.
Ingredients:
2 cups of almond meal
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup small macadamia nut pieces or walnut pieces or any other nut you're nuts for
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup (most of the time I do less, like 1/4 cup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup cacao nibs (regular or sweet nibs)
Process:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract and melted coconut oil with a hand mixer
4. Stir in wet ingredients into dry ingredients
5. Stir in the nibs
6. On a parchment lined baking sheet, drop tablespoon-sized amounts of the cookie batter
7. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes.
8. Allow cookies to cool and then eat the whole batch in one sitting... I mean enjoy.
YUM!!!!
