If they look like cookies, smell like cookies, they must be cookies...
I have been wanting to create a healthy substitute to cookies or in general some dessert like thingy ! This is what I came up with.
I have been wanting to create a healthy substitute to cookies or in general some dessert like thingy ! This is what I came up with.
- Take equal parts of flour - buckwheat / quinoa / barley/ oats and mix them up dry
- Roast the mixture on a skillet at low/medium temperature while constantly stirring it to avoid the flour burning.
- Keep roasting till medium brown/golden color
- Switch off gas stove and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- This mixture after cooling down can be stored in glass containers inside a fridge
- Soak whole grain amaranth in cold water for about 24 hours till the amaranth soaks in the water and becomes soft.
- After the soaked amaranth softens up , decant the water and store it in the fridge
- To create healthy cookies : These cookies can be created when you want it and in as small quantity as possible. No need to premix. No need to create large quantities. To make 4 cookies (of say diameter 3 inches)
- Take 2 tablespoons of water softened amaranth
- Add 2 table spoons of roasted flour
- Add Splenda to your taste
- Add water and mix till the consistency seems like mixed hot chocolate fudge !
- In general don't make the mix "Amaranthy".
- Heat a "non stick" pan on a stove turned to Max
- Wait till pan becomes hot
- With a nonstick compatible spoon pour out 4 cookie portions on to the pan.
- Flatten out the cookies as much as you can with the spoon
- After a few minutes when its easy to flip them over, do that
- Check to see that the cookies are not burning
- Remove cookies with a flat spoon and serve
