Crispy chocolate chip cookies

Lately I've been trying really hard to find a recipe for cookies that are actually crispy. I've also been experimenting with a lot of different ingredients but failed everytime. They just wont! And what is great about a cookie that isn't crispy? Nothing. But while looking around on instagram I found this girl Cecilie Lind who makes a lot of lovely protein packed yummy stuff. She had a recipe for a crispy cookie and instead of using almonds I used 85% dark chocolate to give them the "chocolate chip cookie" taste. Sure worked!

INGREDIENTS

50g vanilla whey protein (I use this one)

100g oatflour

40g dessicated coconut

40g coconut oil (melted)

40g unsweetened applesauce

30g unsweetened 85% dark chocolate

PROCEDURE

Preheat oven to 200C

Cut the chocolate into small piece and combine all ingredients in a bowl. It might seem like the dough wont stick together but when you start to form into cookies it will. The easiest is to start making them round and then press flat. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes.

Chicken, arugula, cottage cheese pizza

This is just beyond amazing. Can you really eat pizza while living on a clean diet? Answer is yes! This pizza crust is made from the ciabatta bun recipe I posted a few days ago, just instead of making buns - I formed a pizza crust. This was SO tasty and more "human sized" than normal pizzas where you get one bigger than a plate and feel like you are going to explode when you are done. Try this out!

INGREDIENTS

Crust: 4 tbsp coconut flour

3 tbsk husk psyllium

1 tsp baking soda

1½ tbsp apple cider vinegar

4 eggwhites

just under ½ cup boiling water

Topping: 150g chickenbreast (without skin)
40g arugula
Tomatopaste (just to cover the surface)
80g lowfat cottage cheese

Oregano

PROCEDURE

Preheat oven to 225C

Add dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix well. Add the egg whites and apple cider vinegar and mix until a thick dough forms. Add the boiling water (might seem wet at first but the coconut flour will soak up all of the moisture. On a baking pan with baking sheet, split dough in two (I weighted mine so they were the same weight) and form them round and flat by using a rolling pin. You choose how thick you like the pizza, but remember they will rise slightly in the oven. Add the tomato paste to both surfaces of the pizza and oregano. Set aside. Cut the chicken into small pieces and fry them in olive oil until they are well done but not too brown. Put 75g on each pizza. Now put in oven and bake for 10 minutes. When out of oven, add arugula and cottage cheese. Of course you can use the topping you want but remember the nutrition facts will change and this is by the way an amazing combo of food. Enjoy! 

If you only want 1 pizza just cut all ingredients in half (But always nice to get pizza two days in a row right!)

Chop the strawberries and mix all ingredients in a pot over medium heat. Stir a lot for around 10 minutes, then mash the strawberries with a fork while letting it cook. Let it cook for around 40 minutes until it's thick. Let it cool and transfer to a jar.

Black bean fugde

This is by far the most AMAZING thing I've ever made. I found this lovely black bean fugde recipe on Petite-Kitchen and after having success with the coconut bread from her as well I figured - why not try this one. I've already made brownies with black beans before so I knew they work well with chocolate, but THIS fugde is over my imagination. There's no way you can taste that this isn't unhealthy.

INGREDIENTS 

1 can of black beans - drained and rinsed
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp good quality cocoa
6 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract 

PROCEDURE 

"Line a small square or rectangle tray with baking paper. I used a small kids shoe box, as I did not have a tray small enough. A tupperware container could work also. Place all ingredients in to a food processer and blend until completely smooth. Spoon in to the prepared tray or container. Place a piece of baking paper on top of the mixture. Press down until evenly smoothed out. Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours to set. Remove from the freezer and transfer to a chopping board. Carefully peel off the baking paper, then cut in to bite size pieces." - Petite Kitchen

Coconut bread - only 3 ingredients

I found this recipe earlier on Petite-Kitchen and it did sound a bit weird that a bread could be made on only 3 ingredients but it looked so good, so of course I had to try! This bread only takes a couple of minutes to prepare. 

INGREDIENTS 

6 eggs

3 cups of dessicated coconut

1 tsp baking soda

PROCEDURE 

Preheat the oven to 140°C, and line a loaf tin with baking paper. Add the eggs, coconut and baking soda to a food processor. Blend until combined, then pour in to the prepared loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted. Leave to cool, then simply lift out, and slice thickly. Will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Raw cookie dough balls

This is the most yummy thing I've ever tasted. Cookie dough is not such a common thing in Denmark but I had try this out when I saw the recipe. It's easy, no baking, and will satisfy your sweet tooth 100%!

INGREDIENTS 

1 cup cashews

 1 cup oat flour

1½ tbsp honey

1 tbsp peanutbutter (I use an organic one)

1 tsp vanilla powder

 Dried cranberries - as many as you like. Dark chocolate chips are used in original recipe but I actually prefered with cranberries (Love them!)

PROCEDURE 

Combine cashews and oats in food processor and process until they reach a flour consistensy. Add remaining ingredients - process for a few minutes until it reaches a dough'ish consistensy. It doesn't really look like it can be made into balls but don't worry, when you press it, it will be easy! Mix in the cranberries into the dough and form it into inched-sized balls. I would recommend to put them in the fridge until they are cold but you can eat them immediately too!
