Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Macaroons

So these cookies...they're good. I mean reeeeeeally good. I guess they're not technically macaroons, since I added oats, but they're close.

And they're chock full of coconut. Coconut flour, coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut sugar...yessss! It's like someone dissected a coconut & put it back together in cookie form. Plus they added chocolate. What's not to love?

As cookies go, these are also pretty darn healthy. They have minimal sugar, all of which is un-refined. Coconut sugar is actually low-glycemic & full of nutrients (especially trace minerals). So while yes, it's still sugar, it's a much better option than most.

Maybe we can have these for breakfast then! I bet they'd be good crumbled over oatmeal or with a smoothie (like my Berry Boost Smoothie).

If you're gluten-free, you can use gluten-free oats & then you're all set. 

One more thing - the chocolate chips make the cookies. Just do it!
