Since working in an office, I have become much more interested in what I’m eating.
I’ve never eaten particularly badly, but I would always eat what I wanted without giving anything a second thought. It turns out that attitude doesn’t cut it in an office. When you’re sat at a desk all day, burning those calories is so much tougher. And therefore, I have entered the wonderful world of healthy snacking (and it really is a whole world of deliciousness).
While I usually make a beeline for WH Smith’s ‘nutritional snacks’ stand, these cookies are one of my first homemade efforts. They aren’t the sugar explosion you expect when you bite into a cookie, but that is part of their charm. You can eat them all day and not feel sick! The banana really sweetens them, and the spices make your entire house smell incredible while they’re in the oven. I followed this recipe – they are so easy to make and turned out really well.
YOU WILL NEED:
- 2 cups ground almonds
- 2 heaped tbsp coconut oil
- 9 small squares dark chocolate
- 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 small banana
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger, nutmeg, salt and baking powder
TO MAKE:
Preheat the oven to 170C. Mash the banana together with the chocolate.
Heat the coconut oil on a low heat. Add the syrup, spices and salt and stir until combined.
Mix the ground almonds, baking powder and almond butter together with the banana and chocolate. Add the melted ingredients and stir until combined.
On a tray, take a tablespoon amount of mixture and press down to form a cookie. Bake for 10-15 mins and enjoy!
