Low Glycemic and GF Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 Cups Namaste Flour
½ tsp of baking soda
½ tsp of sea salt
1 stick of organic butter, melted
¾ cup of agave
2 eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups of Enjoy Life OR Lily's chocolate Chips  (lily's chocolates are made w/ stevia...best choice)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325.

In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In our stand mixer w/ paddle attachment, beat the melted butter and agave until combined. Beat in vanilla, eggs. Scrape down bowl as needed.

Reduce mixer to low and add dry ingredeints just until smooth.

Use a small scoop to portion out cookie dough balls onto a cookie sheet. (I line mine w/ silpat mats or parchment paper)

Bake until the edges are golden but centers are soft and puffy. (about 10-12 minutes) They bake best if YOU ROTATE THE BAKING SHEETS HALF WAY DURING COOKING.

NO OATS OATMEAL

  • 1 cup Crushed Pecans
  • 1/3 cup Flax Seed Meal
  • 1/3 cup Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 cup Cauliflower, riced (~ 3 oz.)
  • 3 1/2 cups Coconut Milk
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 oz. Cream Cheese
  • 3 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. Maple Flavor
  • 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. Allspice
  • 3 tbsp. Erythritol, powdered
  • 10-15 drops Liquid Stevia
  • 1/8 tsp. Xanthan Gum (optional)
Rice 1/2 cup of cauliflower in a food processor. Set aside for a moment.

 Add 1 cup raw pecans to a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Make sure they’re not too small, because you want them to add texture to the dish.

Add pecans to a pan over low heat to toast.

In a saucepan, heat 3 1/2 cups coconut milk. Once warm, add cauliflower and continue to cook until it starts to boil.

Turn the heat down to medium-low and add your seasonings: 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. maple flavor, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. Allspice

 Add erythritol and 10-15 drops liquid stevia to the pan and stir in well.

 Add the flaxseed meal and chia seed to the pan and mix well. This will start to thicken tremendously.

Measure out 1/4 cup heavy cream, 3 tbsp. butter, and 3 oz. Cream Cheese.

Once your mixture is hot again, add the toasted pecans, cream, butter, and cream cheese. Mix together well. Here, you can add 1/8 tsp. xanthan gum if you would like it to be a bit thicker.
