Peanut Butter Cutout Cookies

By far the tastiest AND healthiest cutout cookies I know of! They're even vegan and gluten free.


Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup coconut flour + more sprinkles for rolling
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Whisk flours and baking soda together and set aside. Melt coconut oil and peanut butter together over low heat in a small pan, then remove from heat and stir in molasses.

Add wet mixture to the dry one and mix until it forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least three hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place another piece of parchment paper on your countertop. Sprinkle the paper and a rolling pin with coconut flour. Roll out the dough to desired thickness and cut into shapes dictated by your kids (or your own choosing, if you're baking alone). Bake for 6-8 minutes or until edges start to brown.

If you like you can top them with melted chocolate or sugar sprinkles.

Chocolate Pancakes

These are the best pancakes ever! They're even vegan, but that thought would never cross your mind while you enjoy their awesome deliciousness.


Ingredients:

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
6 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons coconut oil (heated until liquid if necessary)
water

Combine dry ingredients. In a large, separate bowl, combine liquids, then mix in dry ingredients with a whisk. Add water until the consistency is how you like it for pancakes.

Grease a hot griddle with coconut oil for each pancake. Cook until little bubbles start to appear and underside looks dark brown and firm, then flip and cook other side.

Add whipped cream and/or other toppings of you choice.
