Description

Ingredients

• 100g of (gluten free) oats
• 100g of buckwheat flour or spelt flour (spelt is not gluten free)
• 70g of ground almonds
• 90g of coconut sugar
• 70g of extra-virgin coconut oil
• 60g of peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon of of ice water
• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds + 3 tablespoons of water
• 1 vanilla bean
• 1 teaspoon of aluminum-free baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• a bit of powdered xylit to sprinkle
• 100g of homemade healthy chia jam

Directions

• Place the oats into a food processor or mixer and until ground to a flour. Set aside.
• Place the chia seeds and water into a small bowl, stir and set aside to thicken for about 10 minutes. Stir it at least once again.
• Heat the coconut oil in a small pot, and then fill it into a mixing bowl or food processor. Add coconut sugar, peanut butter, chia-mix, the inside of the vanilla bean and mix until well combined, for about 30 seconds to one minute.
• Now add the ground oats, ground almonds, buckwheat or spelt flour and mix well. If the dough is too dry, add one tablespoon of ice-cold water. Place the dough into the fridge for one hour.
• Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
• Place the dough on the kitchen counter that you sprinkled with buckwheat flour. Knead it quickly, then roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Cut out circles with cookie cutters. Cut smaller shapes into the middle of half of the circles. (I used hearts, but circles would work just as well).
• Place the cookies onto a baking sheet aligned with baking paper and bake for 8 - 12 minutes. Be sure to check them after 8 minutes to determine the final baking time. They burn quickly.
• Let the cookies cool for a bit, then place about half a teaspoon of healthy chia jam on the cookies without the whole in them. Place the cookies with the whole on top of the chia jam and gently press them down.
