Ingredients

(use organic where possible)

• 2⁄3 cup red lentils, soaked 6-24 hrs
• 4 tbsp quality oils (coconut, macadamia, flax, non-toasted sesame etc - a combo is great)
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp rice malt syrup
• ¼  cup hemp seeds
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp flax meal
• 1 tbsp maca powder
• 1 tbsp lucuma powder
• 1⁄3 cup coconut, desiccated
• 3-4 tbsp coconut flour
• ½ cup dark chocolate chunks

Directions

1. Drain the soaking water from the lentils and add approximately 2 cups of fresh water to a saucepan with the drained lentils.
2. Bring to a boil and gently boil for approximately 10-15 minutes.
3. Drain any excess water.
4. Transfer cooked lentils into a blender and add oils, syrups, hemp seeds, vanilla and salt.
5. Blend as smooth as possible.
6. Add the flax meal, superfood powders, coconut, and coconut flour.
7. Taste and customize sweetness or flavor as desired.
8. If you would like the dough to remain 'white', make sure to only add the chocolate chunks once the batter is cool enough.
9. Press the thick cookie dough into a dish lined with baking paper. Chill in the fridge or freezer.
10. Once cool, cut into cubes and leave in the freezer for easy access when the craving hits.

Notes*

• If you desire cookie dough balls, hand-roll the cubes into shape once fully chilled. Alternatively, roll into balls while still soft and then toss in a bowl of desiccated coconut like cookie dough bliss balls. Freeze and eat straight from frozen.
• Roll into small balls or small cubes and stir through ice cream for a very special treat.
• Put a small skewer or cake-ball stick into each chilled ball and dip into melted chocolate, then sprinkle crushed nuts over.
• Roll the dough into a log shape in baking paper. Chill. Cut into rounds as the ice cream sandwich pieces, fill with ice cream.
