If you're anything like me and you love your chocolate and chocolaty stuff but on an eat-clean mission for weightloss, fitness or health reasons, then you have definitely been going crazy trying to find good recipes or, even harder, products that fill the above criteria. Well, I hear you, guys, and I'm there. So I've been working on a recipe that would look, taste and be good enough, and I finally reached it. This one is high in fiber, so it's very good for your bowls too. (And here I am talking and worrying about others' bowl movements, again! I have a toddler, so this is always on my mind)
I used bran and flax seeds, but you can also use oatmeal instead of flax. You can also spice it up with semi-sweet chocolate chips or nuts/raisins for an added oomf. I chose to do the basic recipe here, but any further tweaking is up to your preferences.
You'll need:
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tbs bran
1 tbs any kind of white flour
1/4 cup raw cocoa powder
1 tbs flax seeds
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup brown/Stevia sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract ( or 1 sachet) 1/4 cup canola/vegetable oil
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 180º c. (350º f.) 2. Combine flours, baking powder, bran, baking soda and cocoa powder in a bowl.
3. In a seperate bowl, whisk sugar, egg, vanilla and oil till well-combined.
4. Gradually add dry mixture to wet mixture and whisk it (either by hand or food processor) until everything is well incorporated in the dough. Add flax seeds last.
5. Line a baking sheet/tray with parchment paper (or spray with cooking spray/lightly brush with oil) and divide dough into spoonfuls onto it. Yields about 24 small cookies.
6. Cook in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Leave to cool completely before serving.
