Healthy Baby "cookie" recipe:

I wanted to make a "cookie" for Lennon that was healthy and....well, not really a cookie LOL. Listen, I don't want to deprive my kid, but at the same time I am trying to build her a healthy pallet so she's not constantly craving sugar. So, she thinks this is a cookie, and I'm fine with that. She absolutely looses her shit when she sees these, and they are absolutely healthy, gluten free, high in fiber, no eggs or flour and they look exactly like real cookies. Super easy to make and taste great too. This recipe makes quite a few cookies, I store these in the freezer and this is her treat after lunch, or for an afternoon snack.




1 1/4 cup organic sweet potato, steamed and mashed
2 cups organic chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup almond milk
2 TBS golden flaxmeal
1/2 cup oat cereal or ground oats
2 tsp cinnamon
2 TBS coconut oil

Preheat the oven to 350. Place everything in the food processor and blend until smooth and everything is incorporated. I usually add half the milk first and blend and then add the rest to make it easier to blend. Once everything is mixed, spoon the batter out onto a parchment lined baking sheet, and then just bang the baking sheet on the counter a few times to flatten out the cookies. Pop em' in the oven on the bottom rack for about 20 min, then move to the top rack for another 15-20 min. Cool completely. Keep a few in the fridge for a few days or store all in an air tight container in the freezer.
