Please understand that I know these breakfast cookies may look a little ugly. I get it. But they taste awesome. Just a fact.
I miss Jackson SO much. I’m just leaving Austin this morning to head back home and kiss his face over and over until bites me with his little gremlin teeth. He loves to do that. And by the way, Jackson is my dog if you didn’t know who that man name was. He’s still a puppy, not yet a man. That could be a song.
So Austin was amazing. I’m going to do a summary post tomorrow about all of it, don’t you worry, but I can at least do some summarizing. I ate a lot. I hung out with awesome paleo people. Some people were annoying. I mean, it’s the paleo community. It’s full of intense hippies. You’re probably an intense hippy, aren’t you? Judging. Jk jk. I like the smell of lavender sometimes, too. Back to my point. I shopped a lot. I talked to a lot of people. I did a cooking demo. I drank barely any water. I spoke on a panel that I so did not want to speak on. I had more dairy then I’ve had in the entire year. I laughed so hard I cried. Twice. I packed my bag home with 4 chocolate bars. I went to an awesome CrossFit gym and did a super painful workout. I sweated into my eyes while working out. And I stayed in a super fun condo with 7 other people. The coffee table was a giant drum. No lie.
I’m so ready to be home. I made the bf send me multiple pictures every day of the puppy. He’s growing up so fast and I’m missing it all! I was hoping that by the time I got home, he would be perfectly potty trained. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to turn out like that. I think we will still have to work at it. Poor kid. He just likes to be independent and prove that independence through urinating where he pleases. That just ain’t gon’ work.
Speaking of ain’t gon’ work, I’m a bit annoyed with United Airlines right now. I usually stick with them because they tend to almost always have wi-fi, their flights have always been on time with me, and they have seemed to always have a decent amount of space in their planes. I was wrong. This time around, I was forced on one of their United Express planes that looks like it should be taking me from Denver to Colorado Springs, instead of all the way to Austin. They are so small that only a purse fits in the bin overhead and you can literally smell the breath of the person sitting next to you. And based on my experience on this trip, these little dinky planes do not tend to be on time. I’ve never really had a flight be late with United and then once I was lucky enough to ride on the United Express, all my flights were late. I feel like this happens because they are the little, nerdy planes so they get pushed around by the bigger ones and can only come out to play when all the bigs ones are gone. Well you know what United Express? You need to pull up your big boy pants and get your sh*t together. Meaning get rid of those planes so I can make it on time to my destination. Maybe it’s just time to pick a new airline. What do you think? What’s your favorite airline to fly?

My question was regarding the amount of OIL not flour. : )
the oil is correct. the amount of coconut flour was not. so yes, again, the coconut oil amount is correct
Juli is trying to point out that the increase of coconut flour from 1/2 cup to 1 cup will counteract the liquid from the 1 cup coconut oil for those that were having trouble with them baking too flat. The oil doesn’t seem as much when you are increasing the flour by a lot.
I think what Julie is saying, Sue and Angie, is that you add 1c of coconut flour- this should be enough to make up for the oil. I did make these last night as listed and they were okay- much more flat, of course 😉 but delicious!
She responded with a correction on the coconut flour because the extra coconut flour is going to soak up the coconut oil. So what she’s saying is that the 1 c of coconut oil is correct, the reason the recipe was not right is because the coconut flour needs to be increased to a total of 1 cup.
I really want to try this recipe, I’m going to sub in almond flour for the tapioca flour though. And I’m going to use nuts instead of the chocolate chips (or maybe I’ll add choc chips too! yummy!)
Juli. You are so patient. I bet reading comments on your blog has helped a ton with Jackson and the potty training fiasco of 2014 🙂
HA!! awesome comment!!
Thanks, Theresa. But when readers ask about the cup of coconut oil, and Juli responds “Flour!” –without even addressing the oil– how on earth is one supposed to extrapolate that?
A more helpful answer would have been:
“Yes, 1 cup of coconut oil is correct. But the amount of coconut flour is wrong–it should be 1 cup, not 1/2 cup.”
I think a lot of time people forget she is posting these recipes…FOR FREE. AND she responds to people’s questions/comments. So be nice.
Juli-rock on.
p.s your dog is awesome.
p.p.s thanks for all your recipes.
you’re awesome!!
These look amazing. How we didn’t know about them before now eludes my brainpower. Can Not Wait to try them. Thanks for posting!
Hey!!! Can’t wait to try these!!!! 1 cup of sugar seems like a boatload though. Do you think 1/2c would still work?
Probably, but you would maybe want to increase the flour a smidge and/or decrease the coconut oil to compensate.
Thanks 🙂
i wanted to scratch my eyes out reading these comments- holy moly, you are patient juli. thanks for all your recipes! I feel like you always talk about your food places in denver (like your bakeshop where you get almond milk coffees and paleo muffins) and in austin where they have grass-fed gelato? that all seems awesome- I’m on long island, i don’t think we have places like those.
your life seems awesome and you’re beautiful! again, thanks!
I made these last night. I ate a lot of them, and felt kind of bad. Then I ate another, and didn’t feel bad anymore 🙂 They were really good, thanks so much for the recipe!
