Enjoy Some Fruity Garuti's

 I know I promised apple recipes this week, and apple recipes you shall have...I'm working on whipping some up apple dishes tonight. But, while I work on apple harvest related items to please your palate I thought I should provide you with a little wheat free, dairy free, paleo friendly dessert item to hold you over until applepalooza.



But first a little background information:

A few weekends ago Darren, Pretty, Hudson, and I packed the truck and drove north to Pennsylvania. We met my college roommate Bridgette (known to those who know and love her as Queen B) and our dear college buddy (and QB's boo of 9 years) John (a.k.a Johno).

YAY for friends! YAY for fun! YAY for the poconos!



The Buddy. The Huddy Buddy Swimming.



We laughed, exercised, ate, and drank...and Hudson swam foreverrrrr...

Then Hudson and Pretty crashed hard....and tried to fit themselves into beds that were meant for much tinier pups...but don't tell them that...they look soo comfy..

We had lots of delicious, homemade, healthful meals and made up new recipes as we went along. Johno's fruity Garuti cookies we one of my absolute favs from the weekend.
So without further adieu, I present to you....Johno's Fruity Garuti Cookies...

Johno’s Fruity Garuti Cookies

Ingredients

• 4 cups almond flour (1 package)
• 1.5 cups shredded coconut
• 1.5 cups dried fruit – whatever you prefer
• Cinnamon to taste
• 2-2.5 cups (10 oz or so) agave (honey would also probably work)

 Directions

• Mix all dry ingredients.

• Heat up the agave so it flows freely.

• Mix all that together.
• Let it sit for an hour in the fridge…makes it easier to shape balls.
• Cook at 350F for 12-15 minutes.

Note: Make sure to coat the cookie tray in coconut oil as well.

Other options: You can substitute chocolate or carob chips for shredded coconut if desired!

 Enjoy!

So naturally I wanted to share them with you!

They are paleo friendly, non dairy, gluten free and amazingly delish!
