*KID APPROVED* I dont know about you but i personally have quite the crush on any and all things “cookies”.. and by crush i mean deep deep love. okay, honestly i just love carbs, but thankfully this recipe is a healthier hidden veggie recipe so i didn't feel too bad about indulging in these cookies for breakfast.. and a snack… and a pre-lunch snack.. perhaps this was OVER indulging just a TAD bit. I guess i justified all this nibbling for a couple different reasons, 1.) they tasted DELICIOUS 2.) they have zucchini in them and you cant tell, a.k.a i accomplished making vegetables taste like chocolate. your welcome. 3.) they’ve got some pretty nutrient dense ingredients so your actually nourishing your body in the process need i say more? These cookies contain buckwheat flour, which actually isn't related to wheat at all but oddly enough the rhubarb plant.. not what i expected either. Buckwheat flour is kind of an awesome food though if you want something incredibly nutrient dense and totally vegan AND gluten free. Buckwheat flour has been shown to help reduce blood pressure, help prevent certain types of cancer*, aid in diabetes management, aid in the eliminination of gallstones, protection from asthma attacks AND manage and boost the immune system.. whoa... thats a whole lotta bang for your buck"wheat".. ha.. ha.. pun intended, corny humor is all blamed on my husband and his sense of humor. Buckwheat is also a hefty dose of protein %26 per 100g, dig in vegans and carnivores alike. These lil gems packed with chocolate chips also contain spelt flour which still contains gluten but because its water soluble much easier to digest and has as many vitamins and minerals as our dear friend buckwheat if not more. Coconut sugar replaces cane sugar as it has a much lower GI index and a lower fructose level making your blood sugar more stable and not an instant and fatal sugar rush. ^^^ these pictures don't do the taste and benefits justice, but i had to try and capture some of their cake cookie goodness.
