It has come to my attention that I may have been confusing when I mention Stevia in my recipes. Many different kinds of Stevia and blends are available. Although I don't like many of the erythritol blends, I have found that this one is quite good. It is easier to find and less expensive than the PURE stevia powders out there. Whatever you use, I'm sure you're used to tweaking things to work.
Preheat oven to 350 F
Place in large food processor and mix the following seven ingredients 2 c each: unsweetened coconut, whole cranberries (if frozen, thaw for 20 min), old fashioned oats
1 c Pyure Organic Stevia blend, 1 1/2 c Olive Oil, 3 tsp vanilla, 1/2 orange peel (diced)
Mix well. You'll know when you're done because the color will turn pink and cranberries will be in chopped with the largest size being fourths.
Add these to mixture: 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/3 tsp baking powder, 2 c flour of choice (almond, coconut, brown rice, oat), 1 c tapioca starch.
Blend well.
Opt: add up to 3 T monk fruit liquid sweetener if it's not sweet enough for you.
Drop on greased (use coconut oil spray) cookie sheet by Tablespoon.
Bake at 350 F for 11-12 min. Take out immediately and let the cookies cool for 10 min in pan. Move to cooling racks and either pop them in your mouth, serve or let them continue cooling completely before moving into container for storing.
note: they are a little greasy and moist when you place them on the pan, but this is necessary for things to stick together and for the final product to not be crumbly and dry.
This is the Stevia I use in all of my recipes.
