INGREDIENTS

    • 1 cup of Spinach or Baby Kale leaves, packed tight

 

    • ½ cup Maple Syrup + 1 Tablespoon

 

    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

 

    • ½ teaspoon Almond Extract

 

    • 1 tablespoon Apple Sauce

 

    • ¼ cup Coconut Oil, melted

    • ⅓ cup Tapioca Flour

 

    • 1 teaspoon Corn Starch

 

    • 1¼ teaspoon Baking Powder

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. In a blender add the spinach or baby kale, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, apple sauce and melted coconut oil. Blend until smooth with no visible green leaves. In a mixing bowl add the gluten-free flour, tapioca flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt and mix to combine. Add the blended green mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a dough. If the dough is too sticky, set it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before rolling it out.
  2. Roll out the dough in between two pieces of wax paper until the dough is about ¼ inch thick. Cut out into desired cookie cutter shapes. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
