So you probably have heard alot about probiotics, but what about prebiotics?
Prebiotics is the food your gut bacteria needs to grow and thrive. Different bacteria eat different prebiotics. The best way to feed your bacteria is to eat a great variety of food including resistant starch, fiber and prebiotics.
One great source of prebiotics is beans. And how to make your family eat more beans? Answer is cookies β€
I will give you 2 recipes, one for pumkin pieπ and one for chocolate π«
I made the pumkin pie with stevia and the chocolate with coconut sugar. But you can use your own preferred sweetener. This recipe is gluten and milk free and gives about 16 cookies each.
Pumkin pie cookies
- 230 g preboiled white beans
- 2 organic egg
- 0,5 dl water
- 1/2 cup organic coconut flour
- 1/2 cup fiberfin (or any other flour you like)
- 1/2 cup pumkin seed flour or almond flour (this is just grained pumkin seeds)
- 4 spoons of coconut oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 0,5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2,5 teaspoon of punkin spice powder
- 6 droppers of Stevia
- 0,3 teaspoon of licorice root
Chocolate cookies
- 230 g preboiled organic white beans
- 2 organic egg
- 2,5 dl water
- 1/2 cup organic coconut flour
- 1/2 cup fiberfin (or any other flour you like)
- 1/2 cup pumkin seed flour or almond flour
- 4 spoons of coconut oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 spoons organic cacao powder
- 4 spoons coconut sugar
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and blend with a handheld mixer until you get a smooth mixture. (Do you want how to make your own pumkin spice mix? π let me know, it’s quite easy)
Set the oven to 170 degrees.
Here comes the tricky part. The dogh needs to be shaped into little balls. Its quite sticky so wetting your hand before rolling is really helpful. Use a spoon to measure the dogh then roll about 16 balls.
Press the balls flat using your fingers. For a fun twist add some texture with something you have in the kitchen, I used a old school potato smasher. Or maybe you would add some nuts on top if you are not allergic like me.
Then insert in oven and fry for about 20 min. (Check after 15)
Let them chill a little then enjoy β€
Let me know which one you like the best if you try them both. My son actually liked the punkin spice better. I am starting to suspect he doesnt like chocolate or sugar? π€π
Have a great weekend. Thx for reading β€π
