Sometimes I am in the mood to make sweets.
Luckily I am meeting a friend tomorrow who likes sweets or this would be a loss LOL
Seeing as that I really want to avoid things Dad (And Mom) shouldn't be eating: refined sugars, etc.
I decided to let google take charge and find me a healthier chocolate chip recipe.
ALAS,
Google helped me find Chelsea's Messy Apron.
www.chelseasmessyapron.com/best-ever-healthy-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Her cookie recipe is flourless, butter-less, white-flour-less and contain no refined sugars! :D
#HUZZAH!
The images of her final product are quite seductive
So off to Whole Foods I went in search of:
large eggs
a funnel
(I had started making the 'flour' for the recipe and needed a funnel to cleanly pour the 'flour' into a measuring cup)
The funnel didn't happen, so I ended up placing a sheet of computer paper inside the measuring cup like a funnel... lol

I measured out 1.5cups of oats *before blending*
Then I re-read and added another 1/3 of a cup as a geustimate to make the 1.5c of BLENDED oats needed for the recipe lol

The one LARGE egg.
Mom bought a ton from Costco (Extra Large) earlier today
She went over my Whole Foods receipt.
I like following recipes exactly so I went to Whole Foods
(hoping they would also have a funnel)
I also ended up getting things for a pumpkin pie recipe I found,
but I am waiting for another time to do that.
I measured out a little over .5c of coconut oil and placed it in the micro on defrost.
