Vegan Nigerian coconut cookie crisps (GF)



These are super crisp, flavourful and absolutely healthy cookies.Inspired by @kitchenbutterfly's recipe. This is a combination of coconut jam drops, coconut crisps and coconut candy. I have made them healthier by using almond flour instead of APF and coconut sugar instead of refined sugar. I did not have any Jam so made my own with fresh strawberries.



INGREDIENTS:

Almond flour 11/2 cup

Dessicated coconut (med) 1 cup

Coconut sugar 1/2 cup

Baking powder 3/4 tsp

Salt a pinch

coconut oil 2 tbsp

coconut extract 1 tbsp combined with 2 tbsp water

Strawberry jam


INSTRUCTION:

🥥 Preheat Oven at 350 degree F

🥥In a bowl, add flour, dessicated coconut,coconut sugar, baking powder and salt.Mix well.

🥥In another bowl,Whisk coconut oil and coconut extract water mixture and pour into dry ingredients.

🥥Make a smooth soft dough.If too soft , add more flour.

🥥Split the dough into half and roll thinly between 2 parchment paper.Cut the sides to make a it a square shape.Cut horizontally and vertically to make squares.Transfer the parchment paper gently onto a baking sheet.Repeat with the other half and transfer to another baking tray.

🥥 Bake for 10-12 minutes till they are firm. Cool on a rack and then gently take out the square cookies.

🥥Place 1/2 tsp jam on top of the cookies and devour.

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients.
