Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been trying to find a good low-glycemic cookie recipe that was yummy to eat.  If you have never worked with Spelt, it gives the food characteristics of a cake.  Spelt is not gluten free and is hardier than most wheats.  I have been working on this one, let me know what you think!

Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 eggs
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup local honey
3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
3/4 cup organic unbleached Spelt flour
3/4 cup organic whole wheat flour (sub with 3/4 spelt if you wish)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
1 tsp vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 375.
Mix coconut oil, palm sugar, and honey together untill well blended, add eggs and vanilla.  Add flour and baking powder and baking soda, mix. Stir in chocolate chips.  Spray 9x13 glass/stoneware and spread mixture in evenly. Bake 18-20 mins.  Enjoy with some Raw milk!

Chocolate Bites-Raw

It has been a year since I last posted anything.  I must have thought I was really busy last year this time, being pregnant, mom of four, and life in general.  I have so many new recipes and yummieness (is that even a word) to share with you all!
*You can keep this raw if you do not toast the nuts.
Here is what I made this afternoon:

Afternoon Chocolate
1 cup organic pecans
1 cup organic walnuts
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup organic rolled oats
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup local honey
1/4-1/2 cup peanut butter (mine is homemade, recipe to follow soon)
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup organic chia seed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix together first four ingredients together and place on stoneware to cook evenly for 10 min.  As you smell the mixture toasting, stir the batch.
In a separate bowl, mix wheat germ, chia seeds, and chocolate chips.  Once the batch is done toasting, add the chocolate mixture, along with honey and peanut butter. Mix all together thoroughly in the hot stoneware. Press into bars or chunks.  Let cool.  Serve with a nice glass of raw milk!
