We met nutritionist Meghan Telpner at the Toronto studio opening last year and immediately connected with her humorous, down-to-earth approach to healthy living. Today Meghan has graciously agreed to share her crave-worthy recipe for Almond Power Cookies from her book, UnDiet: Eat Your Way to Vibrant Health. They’re sweet, chewy, and they include a balance of healthy fats, fiber, and protein. They’re also so simple to make. Here’s how:
Makes: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups ground almonds
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup shredded dried coconut
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
- pinch of sea salt
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F
- 2. Mix all ingredients together.
- 3. Take about 2 tablespoons of dough, roll into a ball, and then flatten on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 4. Bake until aromatic and slightly browned at the edges, about 20 minutes.
- 5. Transfer to cooling rack. They will crisp up as they cool.
