Ingredients

• 3/4 cup virgin coconut oil
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder or carob powder
• 1/4 cup almond butter
• 1/8 cup honey
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 1/2-1 tsp stevia powder
• 1/2 cup flaxmeal
• 1-1/2 cup coconut, unsweetened
• 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup finely chopped pumpkin seeds (whiz up in a coffee grinder)

Instructions

1. Combine first 7 ingredients in one bowl (it’s a great idea to taste now and tweak if needed)
2. Put remaining ingredients in a separate bowl
3. Combine the 2 bowls and mix well.
4. Drop onto a cookie sheet or wax paper and freeze.
5. Once solid, transfer to a Ziploc bag for storage and keep frozen. FYI, these “cookies” lose their shape if they reach room temperature.

Bonus info

• Coconut oil and flesh are great anti-fungals and provide medium chain triglycerides that burn rapidly in the mitochondria of the cell.
• Pumpkin seeds are a gentle anti-parasitic
• The high fiber content provides a food source for friendly bacteria in the intestines.
