Hello Beautiful Peeps!
Now I don't know about you, but ya girl here has the BIGGEST sweet tooth, which can be a problem when you're trying to be healthy. Yes, I indulge myself in the occasional baked goods and sweet treats that are LOADED with lots of sugar. So I decided to make a healthier option for you all (you're welcome 😉).
I was scrolling though instagram one day and stumbled upon this recipe made by one of my health nut friends (love you Rosie ❤️).
She made these amazing cookie dough crack bars, so I knew I had to try them out because they looked SO GOOD! After some tweaking and adapting, I came up with this recipe. I made it even better by using pearl butter's smarty pantsuit adaptogenic butter. This is basically a coconut butter loaded with amazing health adaptogens such as spirulina and gingko, both amazing for brain health.
SPIRULINA: Contains C-Phycocyanin, a powerful protein that protects the brain (bonus: it's blue!).
GINGKO: Scientifically shown to increase short-term memory and sleep efficiency.
Make these for your weekly snack, party treats, weekend treats, to share, or to eat alone. I promise you'll be the envy of all your friends 💁🏼♀️

PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, add almond flour, coconut flour, collagen peptides and coconut sugar. Stir to combine.
Add the nut butter, almond milk and coconut oil. Combine until the mixture resembles cookie dough.
Fold in dark chocolate chunks.
Transfer the “cookie dough” into an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) parchment paper-lined baking dish and mold it with your hands to fit the dish.
Transfer to freezer while making the chocolate layer.
In a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup, melt chocolate and coconut oil and then pour on top of the cookie dough, making sure to spread it evenly across.
Sprinkle with sea salt and freeze.
When ready, slice into squares, drizzle with pearlbutter and serve.
