Ovulation Energy Cookies
warming, hormone-supporting energy cookies designed to nourish and sustain you, especially during the luteal phase.
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup almond butter (or tahini for extra magnesium)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs or dark chocolate chunks
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds (magnesium + zinc)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment. In a bowl, mix the oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, stir the almond butter and honey or maple syrup until smooth, then combine the wet and dry ingredients. Fold in the cacao nibs and pumpkin seeds, scoop small rounds onto the tray and flatten slightly. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden around the edges, then allow to cool slightly; they hold together best warm or at room temperature.
