Goji Berry Oatmeal Cookies with Hemp and Chia Seeds

Here is my latest delicious and nutritious kitchen experiment. The goal was to combine a variety of superfoods (goji berries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and coconut oil) into something yummy for the whole family, including our 17m girl who loves to snack. Click on the hyperlinks above to learn more about the great nutritional value of each of these amazing fruits and seeds.

These cookies are soft and can easily be eaten for breakfast or a nice filling snack in between meals.

Goji berry oatmeal cookies
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup goji berries (soaked in water for a few hours; don't discard the water! It makes for a lovely iced tea, plus I used some of the liquid in the recipe)
1/4 cup raw shelled hemp seeds
2 tsp chia seeds
2/3 cup steel cut oats
2 tbsp honey (or any sweetener you prefer)
1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions:
Combine wet ingredients first then slowly add the dry ingredients to the mix until you get a nice consistency dough that hold its cookie shape when you spoon it into a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Preheat your oven to 400degrees and bake cookies for approximately 10mins. Enjoy plain or with a smear of nut butter! Let me know how you liked the recipe and if you modified it in any way!
