Lately I’ve been inspired by wholesome, natural baked goods that I’ve decided to give it a try. So I went down to Woolies and Coles and bought buckwheat flour, almond meal, spelt flour, coconut sugar… and gosh! These stuff are expensive! I decided to combine all these natural goodness with my new found craze – Mayver’s all natural almond coconut & cacao spread. The cookies turned out delicious and I couldn’t stop popping them into my mouth. On a side note, unless you have a gluten or fructose intolerance, it might not be necessary to spend that amount of money on these natural products because the cookies tastes just as good with normal plain flour and brown sugar.
