Directions

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a large baking sheet with oil, a silpat mat or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (almond meal, flour, ground flax, salt, and baking powder), breaking up any clumps with your fingers.
In a smaller bowl, mix together the JOI, maple syrup, and almond extract until well combined. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir until combined.
Scoop approximately 1 1/2 TB of dough and roll into balls. If dough is too sticky, place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Roll balls in shredded coconut. Place balls of dough about 1.5-2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
With your thumb, press into the middle of the ball and shape a small well with your fingers.
Add about 1 tsp of jam into each well.
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes, watching closely after 9 minutes.
Cool on sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. enJOI!

The Skinny Truth About Fats

With all the “low-fat” and “fat-free” products on the market, it’s not a surprise that most people have a negative association with fats—whether it’s about gaining weight, raising cholesterol levels, increasing risk for heart disease... talk about a bad reputation. All of which is true, but only to a certain extent. The fat we eat, known as dietary fat, is one of three essential macronutrients in a diet. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are the three musketeers of nutrition and must stay together through all your meals, not one can be excluded from the dinner party... (we're looking at you, keto diet).
