Carrot Cake Caveman Cookies

Got a new flavor of Caveman Cookie for you… Carrot Cake. These are less sweet and more savory which means that I like them a lot. Best I can figure, each of these bad boys only has about 1g of sugar (natural from the carrots) in them.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups mini carrots
- 2 cups almonds
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla. (I think it would actually be better with 2 tsp vanilla but I have not tried it yet).
- 2 teaspoon Evoo or Coconut Oil
- 3 eggs

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except eggs in food processor. Pulse until small but a little chunky.
2. Combine mixture with eggs in a large mixing bowl.
3. Form into “patties” and place on a baking sheet. I made 10 with this batch.
4. Bake at 350 degrees until done. Mine took about 40 minutes.
5. Enjoy!

As I said, I really enjoyed this version as I tend not to be too big on sweet. You could probably find a way to sweeten these up a bit if that is what you are looking for though. Maybe that 2nd teaspoon of Vanilla or some berries would do the trick.

P.S. I am convinced that banana caveman cookies would be absolutely amazing. I haven’t made them myself because of the sugar content in bananas but if you eat bananas then I would definitely recomend giving that one a try! Actually bananas would probably be pretty darn good in these carrot cake caveman cookies.

Have you made you some Caveman Cookies yet? If they weren’t so easy, I would package them and sell em! lol

Sorry for the blurriness

In the tradition of primal peach patties, I bring you Caveman cookies. These are a little more moist than the peach patties for those of you that were looking for something more moist. Once again the wife is enamoured with them while I am not overwhelmed (although I do admit they are pretty tasty).

The flavors shown above are Apple, Apple Strawberry and Apple Blueberry.

Apple Caveman Cookies:
Ingredients
- 1 granny smith apple de-seeded
- 1 cup almonds (or other nut)
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon evoo
- 1 Egg

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except for egg in a food processor and pulse.
2. Mix in egg.
3. Form into patties. (I made 5 per batch)
4. Bake at 350 degrees until done. (Mine took 45 minutes. These definitely have more moisture than the peach patties)

Apple Strawberry, Apple Blueberry or Other:
- Add in 1/2 cup of berries for pulse. (I used freeze-dried because I had them).

These were very easy and turned out quite good. The wife is happy.They would be pretty good with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg as well.

Actual shot slightly burnt

We already pointed out that Larabars tend to be a little high in natural sugar. So what can you do when you get a craving for a mobile, portable slightly sweet snack? Grab a SoG Primal Peach Patty.

These bad boys have about 110 calories each and less than 6 grams of natural sugar. That means that you could get away with eating 3 or 4 of these without reaching the sugar in a Larabar. they are also very very easy to make.

They are slightly sweet with a pretty awesome texture (it is VERY similar to bread for those of you trying to kick the grain habit.

Ingredients:
1 cup dried peaches (the chewy kind… not freeze dried)
1 cup roasted almonds
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg

Directions:
1. Put peaches, almonds and coconut in a food processor. Pulse until nicely broken down.
2. Drizzle in olive oil while pulsing mixture.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine mixture with egg and mix thoroughly.
4. Make 10 “patties” by rolling and pressing this “dough” with your hands and place on a baking sheet
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
6. Enjoy!

These are a little sweet and “bready” for my liking but my wife absolutely loves them and I have had a few friends give them the thumbs up.

Try it and let me know what you think!
