Gluten Free Maple Almond flour chocolate chip cookies!!

I love to bake. I do not like to eat what I typically bake. I LOVE to share and deliver and get it out of my freaking house as soon as it comes out of the oven if possible. I have been loving baking with Almond Flour, but yesterday I was needing some more texture and looked in the cupboards for inspiration. Found some GF Oats and so I played with a recipe and came up with this one that turned out AMAZING!!

2 Cups Almond Flour
1 Cup GF Oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
Salt
1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
6-8 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
1 Organic Egg
1 Bag of Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate chips!

Mix Dry ingredients together in one bowl. Cream Butter and Maple syrup then add egg and vanilla. Mix both mixtures together and then pour that whole bag of mini chocolate chips. Mix again just a little.  Then bake at 375 until tops are a little brown. I am currently using my toaster oven cause my oven crapped out.

Chocolate Avocado Bliss

This is a recipe my kids ask for a lot and although it has quite a bit of Organic Maple Syrup, I feel that everything else in the recipe evens it out with healthy fats, antioxidants, iron and many more nutritional benefits.
Normally when cooking I fly by the seat of my pants and just taste and add as I go along. What I find with this snack with my kids and myself is that a little goes a long way and we all stay full for a while as well which is a rare occasion for my kids.



3    Large  Organic Avocadoes
2    Tbsp  Vanilla Extract (homemade is the best)
1/2 Cup  Organic Maple Syrup
1/2 Cup Raw Cacao Powder
1    Tsp Sea Salt




Put all the ingredients in the food processor or high power blender until smooth. Taste it just incase you need to add a little something more to suit your palate. Tonight the kids wanted frozen blueberries on top, but when it's raspberry season that will be perfect!
