Hello, every birdy. Today we are going to be doing zero waste. If you read the last post you will know that we have some unused almond pulp, from the almond milk. This is a really simple recipe. The original recipe is vegan and gluten free. However, I am going to share with you what I used because as most of you know I like to use ingredients that I already have in my house, and i don’t like going to the grocery store to get one or two things. Especially if I know I am not going to be using them.
Before I forget and neglect the character in question like I do in the game. Keqing (ka-ching, $$$) is a significant character in Liyue’s archon quest. She is one of Ninngaun’s helpers. As we have seen in the Stove God Event, Keqing does in fact love food and is not just a workaholic. I was unable to get any shrimp at this time or I would have tried to make one of her favorite dishes, because honestly, that is one of my favorite dishes as well, Golden Shrimp Balls. Even though she says that Almond Tofu is not her favorite food, These cookies are not anything like tofu.
The ingredients that you will need for this recipe are:
- 1 ½ cups almond pulp (this is equal to 1 batch of almond milk, which uses 1 cup of almonds)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup maple syrup, agave syrup or what I did was make a simple syrup with hot water and sugar
- ½ cup of either almond butter or peanut butter ( i used peanut butter)
- ¼ cup of ground chia seeds or ground flax seeds – this is equivalent to 1 egg (Which is what i used)
- 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil, or margarine (I know not the healthist and right now its not really the cheapest thing at the store but it was what I had in the fridge at the time of making this.)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla
- ½ salt
- Optional things you can add
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ raisins -this is what i choose
- ¼ cup of unsweetened shredded coconut
This recipe is an easy recipe that you can switch out ingredients to make them according to your diet. I had no reason to make this recipe vegan, but it can be made that way if that is your diet.
You want your almond pulp to have dryed in the fridge for about a day. If you use it right away it will be to wet to work with.
The first thing you will want to do is preheat your oven to 350 F. Prepare 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats, if you are working in a conventional oven. If you are using a convection oven, reduce the temperature to 325 F and spray your pan, and do not use parchment paper. It will take a lot longer, but the cookies will taste the same.
Next, I combined an egg and the simple sugar to a small bowl and mixed them.
In another medium sized mixing bowl you are going to mix together the almond pulp and you have to make sure that you have gotten rid of all of larger chunks with a fork. Once you have all of that done you are going to add in the oats and salt, and stir everything together.
To the egg mixture you are going to add the peanut butter, margarine and vanilla making sure to mix well.
Now, we are going to add the peanut butter mixture to the almond pulp mixture and stir until everything is absorbed. Once everything is combined you are going to add in your add-ins.
Use a large spoon to drop the cookie dough onto your prepared cookie sheet. Make sure to flatten each of the cookies.
Bake the cookies for 350F for about 13 minutes or just until the edges start to brown. Cool them on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing.
These cookies were really good, and I just left them on the coffee table in the living room. It did not take long for the cookies to go. Which is a good sign, because my family is known to tell me when they don’t like something.
I hope that you liked this recipe. Feel free to check it out for yourself. See you in the next post. Thank you.
