Easy Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies


I'm a big fan of classic homemade chocolate chip cookies. Unfortunately, my waistline doesn't seem to love them as much as the rest of my body does...

So, what's a girl to do? I can't give them up all together! Luckily, I found a recipe ala Averie Cooks and switched it up to match my lazy domestic goddess. Here's my version of raw chocolate chip cookies using just 4 ingredient - and they are good!


Ingredients 
2/2 cup raw cashews (unsalted)
1/3 cup raw oatmeal
3 tbs Agave 
1/4 cup chocolate chips 


Blend the cashews and oats in a food processor or super powered blender (I use my Vitamix)


Once the nuts and oats have a flour like consistency, mix in the Agave


Mix together until you achieve a dough-like texture


Mix in chocolate chips and roll into balls - voila! Easy peasy! 
I like to place them on parchment paper and freeze them, they taste even better a little frozen. 


If you get a chance to try them - let me know what you think! I'd love to hear any other raw recipes you can't live without :)

  13. This is seriously an answer to my prayers!!! I can not contain my sweet tooth these days, I swear! But, yes, the waistline will get a little - or a lot - unruly if I don't quit it, stat ;) This is looking like a good substitute for the real deal! XO Brynn
