On The Trail Cookies
An easy to make, delicious treat that is made with real ingredients! I love eating these when I am out ski touring, mountain biking or after I get out of the surf.
This recipe makes roughly 8 cookies
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ cups of unsweetened shredded coconut
¾ cup of almond flour
¼ tsp of salt
a tsp of baking powder
1/3 cup of mashed banana or maple syrup
1 egg or flax egg
2 TBSP of unrefined coconut oil (warm to make liquid)
1 tsp of pure vanilla extract
½ cup of dark chocolate chips (look at the ingredients and buy chips without dairy or added fillers)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F or 180C
In a medium sized mixing bowl mix together the shredded coconut, almond flour, baking powder and salt
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, mashed banana, coconut oil (cool slightly after warming to become liquid) & vanilla extract
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine
Add the chocolate and stir until evenly distributed throughout
Divide and shape into 8 cookies with hands
Place onto cookie sheet about 1 ½ inches apart
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown (different ovens require different times for these cookies)
Be careful not to overcook them, they go from perfect to burnt really fast
Take out of the oven and allow them to firm up for a few minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to baking rack or a plate to cool
Enjoy after they have hardened up but are still warm
