5 INGREDIENT POWER COOKIES RECIPE
1.5 cups almond meal/flour
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (unsalted)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
*optional: pinch of kosher salt

Pre heat oven to 350º F.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silat mat and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, sunflower seeds, chocolate chips and salt (if using). Mix until a dough has formed.

Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball, then flatten with into a cookie shape. These cookies don’t spread so you want to create the cookie shape before baking.

Place on baking sheet and repeat until you have used all of the dough (you should end up with 12 cookies).

I made these tonight with my nieces and I have to say they were so quick and easy (thank goodness!), and I could barely get the cookies on the sheet to bake! The dough tastes so good before baking the girls couldn’t stop sneaking little bites. The fact that the ingredients are completely safe to eat raw is a win win! We substituted chia seeds for sunflower since it’s what I had on hand. Thanks for the quick treat!

Dear Dani Hi from Denmark
And thanks for your easy and healthy recepies, I made the cookies today. I didn't have almonds, so made haselnut flour, and used walnuts instead of sunflower seeds, and sesameseeds instead of flaxseeds. They are amazing 😍👏

These cookies may be the best cookies i have ever had ! ! !
Well done!
I added some unsalted pistachios also and some cranberries.

Oh my goodness, these Power Cookies are divine. Just finished cooking my first batch thismorning. Hidden them from my son as I know they will all simply disappear. Well maybe I will let him a have a couple ! It's all about staying safe, keeping healthy & being kind to each other during these difficult times of Lockdown ! Thanks for this recipe/video Dani.

Made the cookies and they were so delicious! I used oat flour as the base and i added raisins instead of the choco chips! Thanks for the recipe!

[shewanjackson]

We used pecans in the recipe instead of sunflowers seeds and it tasted amazing

[patschilling]

Just made these..I used almond extract..and walnuts didn't have enough almond flour so I used half cup of Bob mills gluten free flour and just a little bit of smashed banana really yummy!!

substitute sunflower seeds with pumpkin seed which when baked or toasted adds an incredible nutty yummm

[CleanandDeliciousDani]

These easy, nutritious snack ideas are also great for lunch boxes or a morning/afternoon bite! Would love to know which of the two you think you will try first. XO-Dani

I made the 5 ingredient cookies and they were AMAZING. My first time baking with almond flour & it was super delicious. My husband loves cookies, so glad I made some healthy ones :D

[Brainhoneywalker]

Ooh! Don't sleep on those "Power Balls!" They are absolutely delicious. Hearty and hit the sweet spot.

[kellybeechen]

I love cappuccinos and I'll probably try the cookies first.

[bindiowen]

I can’t wait to try these...a fantastic cure for the 4pm slump at work!!! Thanks Danni for sharing XX 😘

[staceykersting]

Love your recipes, always! If anyone out there has a use a reusable coffee basket! No time like the present to reduce, reuse,

[camaroful]

The chocolate chip cookies I'm definitely going to try. Thanks.

I can’t wait to try these energy balls. I make something similar for my kids (and myself). My daughter dances right after school 4 days a week so I need a quick and healthy snack for her. It’s surprising how 1 ball is satisfying enough to tide me over as a snack from my lunch until my dinner. I’ll try this recipe this week.
I also think I’ve found a new coffee item to add to my Christmas wish list!
Your videos are great. Thank you

[baumkuchen]

Those cookies look amazing and healthy. I will absolutely try the recipe.
