. . .

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup quick-cook, Jungle oats

  • 1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter

  • 1/8 cup of honey 

  • 1/8 cup of water

  • 1 tablespoon raw pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds or sesame seeds 

  • 1 tablespoon raw cacao nibs (optional but yummy) 

  • 1 teaspoon of mucuna powder

  • 1 teaspoon of maca powder 

  • 1 teaspoon of baobab powder 

  • 1 teaspoon of shatavari 

  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt 

Methods:

  1. In a food processor place all of the ingredients except the raw seeds. Blend on high and then place the ball of dough into a mixing bowl and add the seeds - mix well. 

  2. Get yourself a container/Tupperware and begin rolling out balls of the dough according to your preference of size. You can leave them as is if you prefer the shape of balls. But if you’d like to change it up then place the palm of your hand over the ball and squish it down gently to create the shape of cookie. 

  3. Place in the Tupperware and store in the fridge and enjoy as is! If you would like to add some additional flare, you can roll each cookie in sesame seeds. These are fantastic as a take-to-school or work snack or if you have a busy few days travelling.
