Megan’s Comments:
Somehow I end up turning everything into cookies. These began as a way for me to freeze coconut and blueberries to throw into morning smoothies and turned into wonderful cookies that can be enjoyed any time of day.
Note: If the batter is not sticking together enough, freeze it for a bit and then begin to form into whatever shape you would like. You can try this with any other kind of berry as well! I love keeping these in the freezer for a quick dessert OR a throw them in my morning smoothie.
Dr Jockers Comments:
This recipe is nut-less and loaded with superfood nutrition that is very easy on the digestive system. Blueberries are rich in anthocyanin antioxidants and coconut flakes contain tons of fiber and healthy fats.
I personally like these best with stevia instead of honey to reduce the sugar load. The honey does help them stick together better and many prefer that flavor over stevia. However, honey does elevate blood sugar while stevia does not.
Good point. I hadn’t thgohut about it quite that way. 🙂

Every time I put something fatty (coconut oil, cocoa nibs, coconut, avocado) in my blender, it all pools at the bottom and then it is nearly impossible to clean from underneath the blades (non removable bottom). Need to find another way to make these.
Yes that is one of the challenges with these.
Use a food processor instead.
I don’t see why a food processor wouldn’t work. But as for your blender – run it with hot water and couple drops of dish soap – will clean it right up!
