Healthy Shamrock Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup granulated coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 banana ripe
  • 1 pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup steamed spinach


Instructions 

  1. Steam spinach in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 minutes. (Don’t worry, the spinach flavor will disappear, and your family will never know it is in the cookies.)
  2. Blend spinach and banana in a blender to make a creamy green mixture. (Blending the spinach into a creamy mixture with the banana is easier.)
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  4. Combine spinach cream, flours, oil, and sugar. 
  5. Add in salt and combine.
  6. Chill the dough for 30 minutes. 
  7. Once chilled, roll in a ball and place on a cookie sheet.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown

Healthy Irish Potato Pancakes

 

 

Ingredients

  • Two russet potatoes, grated
  • 1 large zucchini, grated
  • ½ yellow onion, grated
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cover two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  2. Spread half of the grated vegetables on a clean kitchen towel, then roll and wring the towel to draw out the excess moisture. 
  3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Repeat with the remaining vegetables.
  4. Combine the oat flour, baking powder, and pepper in a small bowl. 
  5. Add to the vegetable bowl, and mix well, using your hands to distribute the flour and baking powder evenly.
  6. Scoop about ¼ cup of potato mixture, and hand-shape it into a semi-tight ball. Flatten with your palms, and place the pancake onto the prepared pan. 
  7. Repeat with the remaining mix, spacing the pancakes about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes. 
  9. Flip and bake for another 12 minutes or to your desired level of crispness.
