I think we can all agree that thin mints are the best straight out of the freezer, so do yourself a favor and make a batch of these to stash in the freezer for a sweet treat.
This recipe is surprisingly easy and perfectly minty. You are sure to be obsessed!
Ingredients and Benefits:
Almond flour: Use super-fine and I find it better to weigh out, however that is not necessary. It is higher in protein, fiber, and healthy fats
Cacao powder: Rich in flavonoids and minerals for anti-inflammatory benefits. You can substitute with cocoa powder if needed. I buy mine from Thrive Market for the best price and size!
Coconut oil: A healthy fat full of antioxidants and phytochemicals. It contains MCTs that are quickly absorbed in the gut, and studies have shown that it may encourage fat burning
Maple syrup: An unrefined sugar that is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for a lower glycemic effect
Peppermint extract: For the mint flavor of course!
Chocolate: I opt for a chocolate sweetened with unrefined sugar; some I recommend are Hu chocolate, Just Date, Oobli
