mounds of glory

well i must say, my intentions were to make fresh blueberry muffins...until i realized i don't own a muffin pan--oops.  i could've sworn i had the right equipment!  anyways, i was determined to bake something delicious, and so therefore, i opted to modify a yummy breakfast cookie recipe i recently came across.


my hubby was the first one to try these freshly baked treats, and he really liked them.  i was trying to come up w/ a name for them, and he suggested, "mountains of glory."  funny, the name seemed appropriate, i liked "mounds" better, and so that was that.
thanks honey! :)

recipe: makes 4 "mounds"

ingredients
old-fashioned rolled oats
golden flaxseed, ground
hemp seeds
chia seeds
dried blueberries
dried white peaches, finely diced

cinnamon
cardamom
salt

mix everything together and form into "mounds," place on a silpat liner, and bake @ 350 degrees until golden brown.  e-a-t!

natural sunflower seed butter

maple syrup

unsweetened coconut (for rolling)

mix all ingredients together adding a little more of this or a little more of that until you have the right consistency and ratio to your liking.  form little balls and roll in a mixture of hemp seeds and coconut.  i prefer to store them in the fridge and enjoy 'em when they're cold.
