Hello, well, I'm Dr Joe of TheDrJoe.com
Well, as you know, I love my original raw cacao nibs, and I also love my original raw cacao powder
So I set out a challenge myself. I wanted to find out if I could come up with a cacao nibs cookies and
Well, here's the first of many. Well, we're gonna call it
Cacao nibs banana oatmeal cookies. Okay, so Cacao Nibs Banana Oatmeal Cookies
How do you make it? Well, the recipes is out there...
Let's head to my kitchen
In a world awash with danger and stress the one thing you mustn't ignore is your health
No ifs, no buts. Hop on the driving seat and take absolute control of your health with a little help from a friend
So, today we're going to prepare cacao nibs
Banana oatmeal cookies. Alright. Cacao Nibs Banana Oatmeal Cookies
They're very tasty and you get a very nice delicate balance of the bitterness of the cacao nibs along with the sweetness of the banana
And it works very well. Right. So, what do we need? On the Wet side, we have
Bananas, I've got about 10 bananas here. We are also gonna need Vanilla extract and We're also gonna need
Coconut oil. I've got this bit here. It's already thawed out. This is coconut oil. On the dry side, we're gonna need
Oats. Oatmeal here. What we've got here is about 3 cups. Usually 2 and 1/2 - 3 cups of oatmeal.
We've got Nuts here. You can use any type of nuts you prefer. You know, I'm using peanuts today. Sometimes I use almonds. Other times
I use Pine nuts. Also walnuts. I've got about 4 to 5 handfuls of peanuts here
You're gonna need rye flour. Rye flour. This is Wholemeal Rye flour.
Wholemeal Rye flour. This is about 2 cups. Alright.
Of course, we're gonna need
Cacao Nibs. Alright, Cacao Nibs. These are Raw Cacao Nibs, okay and
Baking powder as well as
Cinnamon cinnamon. All right. I usually like to add cinnamon, to sort of stabilise the release of glucose from the cookies
So, those are the ingredients we need. So, let's get started. The first thing you do is to peel the bananas
Got to peel bananas for you to make banana cookies
We've got about 10 fingers of banana here as you can see. Nice and fresh
So we're gonna do is add about a 3
Tablespoon full of
This is vanilla extract, okay
1 2 3
3 Spoonful of Coconut oil
Then you gotta marsh this
So this is the dry ingredients. So like I said we've got oatmeal. Oatmeal goes in there
So what we've got is, two and a half to three cups. This is 3 cups actually a good meal
Then you've got the Rye flour. Okay, this is Rye flour goes in there
And
Then you've got the peanuts
and then
baking powder
Add about 2
tbsp full of the baking powder
That goes there and
Then Cinnamon. Ground cinnamon
I usually add about 4 to 5
Spoonful of the cinnamon. It gives it that browning
colouration
But more importantly it's not so much the colour. It's mainly to
Actually steady release of glucose from the cookies, so you don't have any blood sugar spikes
That's it for our Dry ingredients. Just mix them together. Oh
Forgot that. The Cacao nibs have to go in there, although can be
added later
This goes into the wet ingredient bowl
Another bit of hard work. You mix the lot together.
So here is the finished paste
So the next thing is
We're just gonna put them in the baking tray and then pop them in the oven. But what I usually do is spray the
Aluminum foil on the baking tray to stop the cookies from sticking onto the aluminium foil
Little oil spray to use
The next is; you can make them into any shape you like, okay?
Okay, so
This is it. We've got
2 trays already set up. The next thing is to shove them in the oven. It goes into the oven and
We set it at about 180 degrees to 200 degrees and it stays in there for about 15 to 20 minutes
That's it
We'll be back in about 15 to 20 minutes. Just check them to make sure they're not too dry
You don't want them too dry. You just want it to be gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside, right?
So, here we are.
The Cookies are ready. These are the
Cacao Banana Oatmeal cookies, as you can see there. They're ready
So, let's just have a taste, shall we?
Yeah, you see this they're gooey in the middle and crispy on the outside. That's the way I like them
Alright, so let's taste and see
You get the sweetness of the banana and that balances out the bitterness of the cacao nibs. The combination just works really well
They're very easy to prepare so, you know, you just need to give it a try
Well, as you saw that the cookies they're very easy to make but here's the thing
You should use the combination of all these flavors to your advantage, you know
Especially with the cinnamon bursting through right in the middle of it as well. I love them
The other thing is they actually store well
You can make the cookies then they you know, they store well for three four or five days
And you should always have them in the house as snacks. Okay, you can actually have them as meal as well
Have a cup of tea with them. They're really nice
They have, you know, a variety of applications and you know what they also healthy balanced cookies as well
They've got proteins, they've got carbs, they've got fats and they also have micro-nutrients
So you've got the whole shebang of nutrients in one cookie. What's not so like?
