If you don’t read 101cookbooks, a food blog focused on super healthy recipes, you are seriously missing out. The blog, run by Heidi Swanson, is one of those blogs that I check on everyday to make sure I haven’t missed Heidi’s latest masterpiece. The pictures alone are some serious food porn and honestly make me want to jump out of my chair and head straight into the kitchen. Why I didn’t rush to make Nikki’s Healthy Cookie Recipe the moment I saw it is something I now sincerely regret. Yesterday, after nearly 3 weeks of simply thinking about making them, I finally took action. And they were fantastic.

How are they healthy you might ask? Well…instead of butter, sugar and eggs - oh and flour (yes I was skeptical too!) she uses substitutes like bananas, coconut oil, almond meal and oats. Then you throw in some really good dark chocolate chunks. I used Seth Ellis Chocolatiers 65% organic dark chocolate bar (not yet available on the site, hmm… sounds like I need to get on Rick about that! :). It tasted something like a banana bread/oatmeal/chocolate chip cookie and it was delish! I’m always looking for healthy recipes (fruit just doesn’t always cut it) to satisfy my often unrelenting sweet tooth. This one is certainly a keeper. Check out 101cookbooks for this recipe and of course many other fine examples of Heidi’s culinary work.
