The Super-fast Shape-up Plan: Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies

MINDFUL DAY 
Sticky and delicious, these cookies are a healthier alternative to shop-bought ones.

Refined sugars have no nutritional value, while natural sugars, such as the coconut variety here, contain a fibre called inulin. It's not completely saintly but it has a lower glycaemic index, which makes it a little gentler on blood sugar levels. In combination with the oats, which are high in fibre, these cookies won't cause a wild blood sugar spike.

CALORIES PER SERVING 260
1 egg
75g coconut sugar
100g coconut oil, melted
90g rolled oats (gluten-free, if preferred)
150g ground nuts (almonds, pinfaves.com cashews, hazelnuts)
1 tbsp finely chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, macadamia)
pinch of ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
100g plain dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa), chopped
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper.Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and then spoon the mixture on to the lined baking tray. Make sure each spoonful is well spaced out and flatten them down a bit so they resemble a cookie shape.
How many cookies the mixture makes will depend on how big you want them - I usually make around 12, but they're not perfect and nor should they be.Bake in the oven for 10 minutes then leave to cool on a wire rack. They'll keep for a week in an airtight container.
