This is Round 2 of my cookie fail from last week that saw me eating everything with “cookie crumbs” pretending that they were a purposeful ingredient, not the actual DisasterChef moment they were. These were delicious, though I still think there is room for improvement so this recipe might get updated when I next make them. Loaded with good fats and protein, these cookies will definitely beat the 3pm sweet craving without peaking your insulin off the charts and giving you diabetes.
1 cup almond meal
1 tbs ground flaxseed
1 cup coconut butter (or nut butter)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla powder
1 tbs lucuma powder (optional)
Stevia to taste (or 1/4 cup raw honey/maple syrup)
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1/4 cup raw cacao nibs or dark choc chips
Preheat oven to 150C (fan forced). Blend all ingredients except pistachios & cacao nibs in the food processor until combined. Stir through the cacao nibs & pistachio. Shape into “cookies” and pop on a baking paper lined tray. Bake for about 15-20 mins and allow to cool completely before removing from tray.
Before they went in the oven….

Cara says
These look amazing – I’m making them this weekend! Judging by the photo does the recipe makes around 20 cookies?
myfoodreligion says
Thanks Cara! It actually makes about 30 cookies that size…. I did eat about 5 cookies worth of dough and there was a few on another tray… 😉
Cara says
Excellent! I though those measurements would make more than 20 – looking forward to tasting them!
myfoodreligion says
Ah yep- if you don’t eat half the dough it makes plenty 😉 They freeze really well too.
Cara says
I tend to do that too 🙂 Great! I was thinking they would make a great afternoon snack – will help to take the edge of going back to work…

myfoodreligion says
No idea sorry Bella, I don’t count carbs/calories or anything else, all I count is how many I can fit in my mouth at once 😉
