Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flax seeds, water, lemon juice and vanilla and let it sit for about 10 minutes, until it forms a gel.
  • In another bowl, whisk the coconut flour with the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the shredded coconut and raisins and mix until well combined.
  • Melt the almond butter and sweetener in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the almond butter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir well.
  • Add the flax gel to the dough and mix until a thick, sticky dough forms. Scoop the cookie dough into 2-inch mounds and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Repeat until all the dough is used.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb version: Either omit raisins or substitute either Homemade Chocolate Chips or chopped walnuts. See Sweetener Alternatives.
  • For AIP version: Use gelatin instead of the flax so that you are essentially making a gelatin egg instead of a flax egg. Also use organic coconut butter instead of almond butter. This also gives you a nut-free option. For homemade versions of either option, see Homemade Coconut Butter and Homemade Almond Butter. For the egg, you could also make an AIP version of this Egg Replacer.
  • Sweetener Alternatives: Instead of the honey, you can use 1-2 scoops stevia extract powder.(1/32 - 1/16 teaspoon) See How to Use Stevia for more information. Xylitol or erythritol will also work. This post shows how to substitute granulated for liquid sweeteners, but since there is such a small amount in this recipes, it's most likely not necessary to alter the measurements.
  • Flax Alternative: The flax seeds in the recipe function as an egg as you can see in
