These cookies are high in beta carotene and antioxidants, healthy fats and fiber: the ideal indulgence for the season that will not make your blood sugar spike :-)

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 cup sunflower butter

  • 1/8 cup cashew butter

  • 1/8 cup coconut oil (melted)

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree

  • 1/8 cup mashed sweet potato

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups almond flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda + splash of apple cider vinegar

  • 1/4 cup cacao powder

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 3 Tbsp chia seeds

PREPARATION:

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use silicone sheets.

  • Add all the wet ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined

  • Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl to incorporate

  • Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet and mix until a dough forms

  • Fold in the chia seeds. If needed, set in fridge for 30 minutes until easy to scoop

  • Scoop and roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on the parchment paper. Flatten with the palm of your hand as these cookies do not spread much!

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until set and beginning to brown.
