Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I was so excited when Otto’s Naturals sent me a bag of their Cassava Flour. I have been wanting to bake with Cassava Flour for awhile now. This was my first time ever baking with it and I have to say it truly is a winner in my book. These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk cookies turned out so moist, chewy, and soft. No grittiness or weird textures.

Cassava Flour is a grain free flour that comes from the Yuca root vegetable. Cassava is not only grain free and gluten free, but its nut free, vegan, vegetarian, and paleo as well. It makes it a great choice for those on selective diets. One thing to keep in mind is that although it’s grain free, it does not mean it’s low carb. It actually contains a pretty high carbohydrate profile, given the fact that it comes from a starchy tuber.

Otto’s Cassava flour can be used as a one to one substitute by weight for wheat flour in many recipes because of its mild flavor and light texture. You can expect it to have no additives, xantham gum, or fillers, how exciting is that?!

You are going to love these Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies made with Otto’s Cassava Flour. I’m so excited for you to try. Please leave a comment below and let me know how much you loved them 🙂

1 Peter 5:10

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Nothing that happens in our life is wasted. God works all things together for good. He uses those setbacks, frustrations, and difficulties to glorify His name and display His work in our lives.  I never really understood what good God could bring forth from all the health struggles I endured over the years. Looking back the evidence is so clear. He was refining, perfecting, and preparing me to go all the way with him. This purifying process was equipping me for greater things to come… skimming off all impurities and building in me mighty muscles of faith! We’ve been called according to his purpose and we have a destiny to fulfill. No matter what life throws our way, we can take confidence and assurance in the fact that God has a master plan and he will use it for the good… It’s without question! God is all powerful, will you trust him enough to hand the reigns over to him?

 

🌟 We are the Clay and he is our Potter, molding and perfecting us  🌟

Psalm 105: 4 -5 a

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his MIRACLES✨?

 

Getting through the hardest of times and trusting God in the midst of unforeseen circumstances can be quite grueling. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, a job,  had a bad breakup, or your health is not well. Whatever it may be I’m here to tell you,  You are not alone. God promises he works all things together for the good ( Romans 8:28 ) It’s not enjoyable by any means, but our loving God uses these trials to show us his will for our life and to shape us into the person he has created us to be. So let me ask you to search your soul , speak with God. Ask him !?! What is your will for my life? How can I take this heartache and turn it around with the power of your strength? Make no mistake about it he will show you. Will you listen? Will you Follow? Will you make him the center of your existence? Will you fix your eyes on Jesus and refuse to glance at anything that distracts you away from his great plans and purposes for your life?

When you do I can promise you without a doubt…  The results will be good. You will not only make it through you will come out of it with a new found strength and an unwavering faith that cannot be challenged. He is our Life, He is our Hope. He is… GOD… So surrender to his design. Let his love come find you!!!

Hold onto the word of God and it will hold onto you ????

 

These Matcha Green Tea Almond Biscottis are a great treat to share over tea.

Matthew 4:4

Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

 

I recently did a small study on “Spiritual Emptiness.” I think a lot of people feel that thirst to fill that empty well in their soul. A lot of times we strive for more money, power, love, success, or even become so immersed in the busy lives we try to maintain… just to not have to feel that void. Well I have Good News! It’s normal!! So many of us  appear to be happy and confident on the outside but beneath all that there is a vacancy that can only be satisfied by God. No matter how much we do or get it will never be enough… well its not suppose to be. It’s all short-lived. There’s a reason for this spiritual alienation: Man was created with a yearning that only God himself can fulfill. The only way to gratify this longing is through a relationship with him. If God’s love, grace and favor aren’t enough, nothing else will be. The world say’s, your reward is in this life. God say’s your reward is with me. We cannot live successful lives without God, that is why it’s so important for us to be in his word everyday. When your in his word, I promise you… you will never be empty!! Tap into his spirit. Let him occupy the forefront of your mind refilling your spiritual tank .

❤️

What or who do you rely on to fill the empty places in your heart and soul?

Colossians 3:15

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.

Peace is the moderator of my heart and mind. Recently, I’ve been calling the shots in my life instead of letting the Lord be my regulator. I’m tired of trying to control things that only God can control. I just end up with a lack of peace, exhausted and overwhelmed. Can you relate? You think I would’ve learned this lesson by now, but nope it still ends up resurfacing in different shapes and forms. You know what?… Sometimes I do it perfectly. I submit to his will and guidance, and my direction is so clear. Then there’s times like recently when I’m wandering blindly out in the wilderness. The more I revisit this process the more spiritual growth and renewal I experience. I truly believe affliction is the pathway to peace. Think about it, why would I want to sit around solving my own problems being depressed as the storms of life rage around me? Why not trust God, surrender to his will, stand firm in faith and watch God solve my problems while I enjoy my life!! I truly believe that is the secret to victorious living!

Don’t let true contentment evade you any longer, Let’s put our trust in God and seek divine perspective!

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

My favorite Christian artist Jeremy Camp sings this song called “Walk by Faith”.  Ive always thought walking by faith was reading the bible, praying, doing the right thing, trying to earn Gods favor so he would give me the desires of my heart. Yes those things are important but as I grow closer to the Lord I realize its so much more than that. God doesn’t want me to do things for him just to get something ‘from him’. Theres no reward with that. The reward comes when I diligently seek him with all my heart. Putting my full trust in him no matter what, even when things aren’t going as I think think they should or I feel my prayers aren’t being answered. Like that song says “I will walk by faith even when I cannot see”. Aha!… Thats what pleases God .. being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1-2) WHILE earnestly seeking him! God is faithful. If you obey his word, Love him with a pure heart, diligently seek him and walk by faith…He will reward your faithful diligence. He is a loving, trustworthy, all powerful God. He does not waiver! He will carry you through!

When everything is changing around us, HE… ” I AM WHO I AM”  remains the same ❤️
