"Real Food Recipe": Coconut Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies

These are so good! We have them a lot...perhaps too often where we're going to get sick of them! I started with this recipe from the Jewish Hostess here and doubled it and adapted it to a coconutty option. Mmmmm....coconut.

Coconut Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
1 cup coconut (shredded, unsweetened)
1 tsp. baking powder (technically, this is a bit processed)
1 tsp. baking soda
2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup coconut butter (you find it near the PB and other nut butters)
1/2 cup grain-sweetened chocolate chips (like the Sunspire brand)


Mix all together and roll into balls about 1.5" in diameter and place on a prepared baking sheet. I usually use a cookie sheet lined with parchment.

I like to flatten them a bit after that. Because there's not a lot of fat in these, they don't spread all that much on their own when you bake them.

Bake at 350. My daughter and I like them best after just 10 minutes and I leave the sheet in for a total of 16 minutes for the rest of the family. If you try them, I'd love to know what you think! Enjoy!
