Have you entered this giveaway yet? If you haven’t, you should.
But even if you don’t win, here’s a recipe to make you feel like a winner. These are my favorite cookies to make. They’re easy, delicious, and use normal, healthy ingredients you can feel good about eating any day. And because it’s so adjustable, I knew I could make it feel more like a Goji Gourmet cookie.
For the copycat, I used signature ingredients from the Goji Gourmet line including goji berries, chocolate chips, oatmeal, and almonds in the form of almond butter. You can certainly adjust the mix-ins in the batter, though chocolate chips never disappoint.
Goji And Chocolate Chip Oaties(adapted from this recipe)
Ingredients(Makes 24 cookies):
-
2 cups oatmeal, divided
-
3/4 cup almond butter
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 cup maple syrup
-
1 (large)banana, mashed
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 cup chocolate chips(let’s just say I used more)
-
1/4 cup goji berries
Take 1 cup of oatmeal and process it in a food processor until it’s been turned into a flour. Add all of the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix. Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until the batter has come together. Chill the dough for 10-20 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees. When the dough is cold, break off chunks and roll them into 1-inch dough balls. Place the balls on lined baking trays and bake for 25-30 minutes until they’re firm to the touch.
I hesitate to call any dessert “healthy”, but with whole grains, dried fruit, and healthy fats from the nut butter, these certainly won’t break any New Years resolutions.
