I view resolutions a little differently and somewhat backwards. You can seem my "estranged normality" blog to see my specific resolutions this year, but basically, I believe resolutions should be habits that are fully formed by next New Years! That means, if I slip up, the game isn't over! Keep aiming for perfection!! Once I have been practicing a habit for a year, it'll stay for life right? RIGHT! I hope some others can take that to heart!
One of my resolutions was to give up all junk food (an all-encompassing term, no exceptions). Remember, that means if I accidentally have some, the gig isn't up! It's only starting!!
These cookies are a very nutritious but still calorie and carb dense way to wean off Christmas. I am pregnant, which makes coming off the sugar high of Christmas a bit more challenging in terms of how emphasized my sugar highs and lows are.
These cookies still have sugar (in the form of molasses and maple syrup) but they also have a tonne of fiber, omega 3's, and protein! This helps your body to digest the sugar slower. It is a great way to wean off of Christmas, because it gets your body used to craving proteins and healthy fats and healthy carbs, as opposed to simple stuff.
The best part? Tastes like an oatmeal cookie!!
Step 1) I reccomend you buy yourself a pantry like mine. Tupperware plus bulk barn equals beautiful healthy creations with ease!! 
Prettymuch every time I am making a creation, I just skim my cupboard and go from there!
2) pull out what you need
3) follow the recipe below! It's as easy as any other drop cookie. Throw it all together, drop onto tray, flatten if desired and bake.
These were actually very sweet! Next time I will use less sugar for sure, but since they were weaning cookies, I felt it was okay. ;) you could comfortably cut the sugar in half I would say if you prefer things on the less sweet side.
My toddler devoured these! Though be careful, they are quite crumbly due to the gluten free nature of them (so I fed him). Wait till fully cooled so the coconut oil has a chance to solidify and hold everything together better (I ate 3 straight out of the oven though. Hehe! With gentle hands, this is very doable).
Resolution cookies:
1 cup coconut oil
2 eggs
1 cup liquid natural sugar (I used 3/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup molasses)
2 tbsp vanilla (yup! Tbsp! I use real stuff!)
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup quick oats (measuring cups were slightly mounded on top)
3/4 cup lg flake rolled oats (mounded slightly)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut shreds
1/2 cup slivered almonds
7-8 tbsp misc. Fibers, brans, husks, etc... (I used 1 maca root powder, 2 ground chia, 2 sphyllium husk, 1.5 spelt bran, 1.5 oat bran)
Combine first 4 ingredients well. Coconut oil should be a soft solid at room temperature, which makes creaming the liquids quite easy.
Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Heap by heaping tbsp onto cookie sheet. (I made about 3 dozen with this recipe). Flatten with a fork if desired.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 min (depending on your oven).
When they come out they may look like there is a puddle around them like this
Rest assured, this will soak in within minutes!
Let them fully cool on the pans since they are a more crumbly cookie.
Store in freezer or on counter in air tight container...or just eat them all right away!
