I’m a fan of all things easy and quick when it comes to cooking. We are all busy – yes, even in quarantine! – and unless you are a chef and have a passion for cooking or baking, you may not want to spend half a day (or even an hour for that matter) in the kitchen. I came back home from a long drive starving tonight. I had this recipe on my mind for a couple days and was wondering what it would taste like so I decided to give it a try. It would be our snack while my husband and I would make dinner.
I love mixing ingredients I already have at home. On this recipe, I combined 4 ingredients: 1 egg, 1/2 cup of crunchy almond butter, 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut and 1 tbsp of maple syrup. The instructions are as simple as mixing all ingredients in a bowl, preheating the oven to 350F, lining a baking pan with parchment paper and baking for 10 minutes.
This batch makes for 8 small cookies. If you don’t find them sweet enough, you can add maple syrup on top and incorporate more maple syrup in the mixture next time you make them.
Note: if you don’t have almond butter, you can use either pecan butter, cashew butter or, if you really don’t have a choice, peanut butter.
That’s it! Healthy eating is easy and can be tasty if you know how to combine ingredients together.
What are your favorite desserts that you would like me to create a healthy version of? Let me know in the comments.
