Yay! Sugar free cookie success! Yes they actually turned out after a few failed sugar free attempts:)

I know I needed to come up with something easy, so I basically made a bliss ball but without the dates and baked it instead.

Genius, I know.

Ingredients
  1. 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
  2. 1/2 cup of crunchy Adams peanut butter
  3. 2-3 tbsp of unsweetened apple sauce
  4. A few drops of stevia***
  5. 1 cup old fashioned oats
  6. 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (I have the large flakes from Costco) or unsweetened shredded coconut.
  7. 3 tbsp of chia
  8. 1 cup of spelt flour
  9. 1-2 tbsp of cinnamon
  10. pinch of course sea salt
Instructions
  1. Melt coconut oil until liquid.
  2. Add the peanut butter, apple sauce and chia in with the melted oil and mix well. Wait until the chia seeds start to bind it all together. I stirred for about a minute to make it happen.
  3. Add oats, coconut flakes, flour, cinnamon and salt and stir all ingredients together.
  4. Now because there is no egg, you need to get your hands in there and make the cookies by pressing the mixture together and forming the cookies.
  5. Place on a un-greased piece of parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool down completely.
Notes
  1. ***A couple of things. I did add a few drops (like two droppers full) of my liquid stevia to the coconut oil and pb. I had it and wasn't using it in my tea so decided to go ahead and use a bit. You could any kind of natural peanut butter (no Kraft allowed!). Also I always use spelt as my flour. Why? Because it tastes great and although isn't technically gluten free, it is a way healthier option than wheat. Buckwheat, almond and kamut flours come in a close second. But nothing bakes better than spelt. I will never buy wheat again!
