Another, kitchen experiment from lack of ingredients and a little snowed in boredom. My lil diva’s love to do craft, cook, play games. After a four day weekend all of those things were exhausted with the exception of baking. We had almost made it through the entire weekend without indulging. Since, beginning this weight loss journey I have been making a lot of lifestyle changes. Trying to be wheat and gluten free due to sensitivities, drastically reducing the amount of processed sugar my family and I consume and showing my girls that healthy eating does not mean lack of flavor and treats. So, when I ran out of all other ideas I turned to my favorite cookbook, social media. Beyond Fit Mom, is the workout plan that I use and she always has fat loss friendly recipes that actually taste good. Just because it’s good for you doesn’t mean it needs to lack in taste. If that was the case I would not be able to have lost 45 pounds in 6 months because I love food and flavor way too much.
These “Cookies” are more like little cakes. I actually gave my daughter one for breakfast this morning. She thought Mom had temporarily lost it giving out “cookies” for breakfast. But they are perfect for on-the-go breakfast, snack or after dinner treat. You can use any fruit, Beyond Fit Mom used blueberries, which we were out of and you don’t go out in a snow storm for blueberries. We did have dried cranberries, which I hydrated in water, oranges, bananas, apples and pears. I didn’t use every fruit in the house but I think all of these would be delicious substitutes for blueberries. They don’t all have the same antioxidant qualities, which is why I went with the dried cranberries and the orange was because I personally love cranberry orange-ANYTHING! The combination with Almonds and Chai Spice made this an absolute delicious treat. If you make them please let me know if you substituted the fruits for anything different I am all about experimentation.
