Cacao Bomb

Whoa, these morsels are definitely a tasty delight that give you a healthy dose of cacao first thing in the morning, or after a meal. 

They can be anything from a healthy desert, to a quick snack, or brekkie on the go. 

​If you're anything like me, then eating a concentrated amount of cacao might be a major pick-me-up. 

These yummy cookies offer antioxidants, protein, and yet still taste like heaven. What's not to love?


Ingredients

Cacao powder
Coconut flour
​Quinoa flakes
Coconut milk 
Cacao butter
Coconut oil 
Flaxseed meal
Baking soda/powder
Almond butter
Hemp seeds
Chia seeds
Monk fruit sweetener (or any sweetener of your choice)
​Cacao nibs 


Instructions

As usual, I didn't measure. But this one is pretty straightforward, so you should be just fine. This made about 3 dozen smallish cookies. 

1. In a large mixing bowl, add 3 C cacao power, 2 C coconut flour, 2 C quinoa flakes, 2 heaping T flaxseed meal, and 1 tbsp baking soda or powder. Mix together. 

2. Add about 3 C coconut milk (or any non-dairy milk of choice).  Stir until sticky mixture. Add more milk if it's not sticky enough. 

3. Add 2 T coconut oil, 1/8 C cacao butter, and 2 heaping T almond butter (or nut butter of your choice). Stir together. 

4. Add monk fruit sweetener (or sweetener or choice) as you like it. I used about 2 tbsp. This isn't necessary if you don't want it to be super sweet. 

5. I like to add seeds for more nutrition and texture, but if that's not your think, they don't add the hemp and chia. I probably used about 1/8 C of each. 

6. Once it's all stirred into a sticky mixture, I made pretty small cookies because I'm pretty sensitive to the stimulating effects of cacao, but you do you. I topped some of the cookies with an extra dollop of almond butter, and all with a few sprinkles of cacao nibs. 

7. Bake 180 C for about 20 minutes, then check. It depends on the size cookies you make for how long it takes. 
​ENJOY!
