Cacao Magic Fiber Breakfast Cookies! Gluten-free & vegan

Fiber breakfast cookies with Cacao Magic

You know how you’ve heard people say “eat dark chocolate” for antioxidants and abundant health? Yeah, that’s because of UNPROCESSED, RAW, VEGAN Chocolate… CACAOCacao powder is chocolate in it’s most raw and nutritious form. The Philosophie Cacao Magic has Cacao nibs, Cacao powder, Tocos (Vitamin E- good for skin and nails), Mesquite (high in iron & protein), Maca (good for energy & balancing mood) and 3 medicinal mushrooms that are excellent for anti-aging, preventing cancer* and healing the body.

WET INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup chopped prunes or prune puree*
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (such as maple, brown rice or agave syrups)
  • 1/4 cup apple sauce
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (such as almond, pumpkin seed or tahini)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg or 1/2 ripe banana
  • 1 tsp vanilla

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup whole grain flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1/2 cup psyllium
  • 1/2 cup ground flax
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup or more of nuts, seeds, trail mix, or chopped dried fruit
  • 2 TBL or more of Philosophie Cacao Magic

 

*to give them a sweeter taste, you could add chocolate chips!

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Place chopped prunes in a blender and just cover with boiling water. Let soak while you prepare the dry ingredients. Also, lightly oil a large baking sheet and preheat oven to 350.
  2. Measure all dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Measure all wet ingredients into the blender with the soaked prunes (do not drain), then liquify and stir into dry ingredients, combining well. Drop batter by the heaping tablespoon onto the greased cookie sheet and flatten just a bit with wet fingers or the back of a wet spoon. Bake for 15 minutes. Make sure you have a glass of water or cup of tea with each cookie. Makes about 20 cookies.

This recipe makes the cookies slightly crunchy on the outside. For a softer cookie double the amount of prune puree and apple sauce. This will make them almost muffin-like.

Enjoy!

Green Dream Popsicles!

This is a guest post from my wonderful friend and Green Dream Lovah- Lauren! She is a beautiful, inspiring, momma blogger over at Ginger is the New Pink! Go check out her page for more vegan recipes, blog posts and information on Crohn's disease and how to LIVE and LOVE your life!

  • 1/4 cup of blueberries
  • 1/4 cup strawberries
  • 1 tbsp wheatgrass powder (or any superfood you'd like)
  • Water to thin
Enjoy!

Green dream has been a part of my daily diet ever since I won a bag from Philosophie. I love adding the powder to my morning smoothies but I'm not the only fan in my house. My 20 month old helps slurp up my smoothies and also has been enjoying Green Dream in Popsicle's! That's right, I got cute BPA free molds and I blend it up with blueberries, strawberries, peaches or whatever fruit I have on hand. Then I sneak in other super foods like wheatgrass powder, chlorella tablets, goji berries, flax seed. After that, I add water and blend. You don't need to measure. Just do as you would if you were making a smoothie. If there are leftovers, that's a bonus, a smoothie for yourself! But in my case, my daughter always wants the leftovers and ends up drinking it while we wait for the pops to freeze!

Here is the loose recipe, adjust to the size pops you want!

Blend all ingredients then pour into molds and freeze!
