Scrumptious Breakfast Cookies
Scrumptious Breakfast Cookies
(Vegan, sugar free, gluten free)
Yield 22 cookies
I thought i will make some cookies the other day, something nice and filling, packed with seeds, gorgeously creamy Meridian Cashew butter and fruits with berries. As all treats like that are cookie jar fillers for kids (and sometimes grown ups)to snack on, I tend to make them as healthy as possible. You don’t want, or sometime don’t really have long time to spend in the kitchen creating masterpieces, and solution is one bowl recipes. And to be honest, sometimes they are the tastiest ones 😉
These cookies have no added sugar, which I replaced with tasty Maple syrup and to give bit of nice caramel chewiness, added coconut syrup. It little bit reminds me of treacle and have no coconut flavour after baked.

Using table spoon spoon the cookie mix on the the sheets leaving few centimetres gaps, flatten slightly with fingertips and pop in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until baked and golden brown.
