Is this recipe missing an ingredient ? like flour
ReplyDeleteno, nothing missing...they are meant to be grain free :)
ReplyDeletewhat would be the calorie count for this?
ReplyDeleteWhat can I sub for shredded coconut?
ReplyDeleteI just made these and they are amazing! My cookies were a bit bigger (14 total) so I left them in for about 16-18 minutes and they were perfect. My husband who eats whatever he wants ate 4 of them in one sitting, I had to hide them! I used raw honey and no salt even though my almond butter was unsalted (didn't need it). Thank you!!
ReplyDelete...I also did the calorie count on the recipe calculator for myfitnesspal. 146 calories per serving with 20 servings (cookies) total this is using raw honey and all as the recipe states.
ReplyDeleteYou could substitute almond flour for the shredded coconut. Heather, I am so glad that you loved them!!! Thanks for sharing your great modifications and the calorie count for the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteMine don't look anything like yours!! Flat and seem rather gooey! Maybe almond meal would give it a bit of substance.
ReplyDeleteI made a similar cookie about a month ago using the pulp from making coconut milk, cashew butter, raw honey, and butterscotch chips (and the remainder of your recipe). They were fabulous. The kids LOVED them. I put the recipe together from 3 other recipes I found. Nice to see this all in one recipe. I'll try these again, but this time without the coconut. I'm not a big fan, but I use the milk and I hate wasting the pulp. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these ingredients, thanks for a great recipe!! (calories are nonsense, eat whole foods!) xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you enjoyed the recipe and yes, I agree...just eat REAL food! :) Sunrise, what kind of almond butter did you use? That could have made the difference.
