Kamut Almond Cookies

Labels: { Cookies and Bars, Honey, Kamut, Nuts and Seeds }

Made with whole wheat kamut flour and ground almonds, and sweetened with honey and stevia instead of granulated sugar, these cookies, adapted from Taste, are quite filling and so much healthier than most traditional cookies. You won't feel bad eating a few of them at one go with a glass of buttermilk.

60 g Coconut oil, melted
140 g Honey
190 g Kamut grains, ground into flour
10 g Cocoa powder
100 g Almond meal
1 tsp Baking soda
0,5 g Pure stevia extract
1/2 tbsp Ground cinnamon
1 tbsp Freshly finely grated ginger
1 tbsp Milk
Coloured sprinkles

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Melt coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in honey and bring to the boil. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Sift kamut flour, cocoa powder, almond meal, baking soda, stevia extract and cinnamon together into coconut oil mixture. Add in freshly grated ginger and milk. Stir until well combined. Cover and set aside for 1 hour or until dough is firm.
Place sprinkles in a shallow dish. Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls. Roll balls in sprinkles to coat evenly. Place balls, 3cm apart, on a large parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
