Okay, so the coolest thing ever happened to me.

Aaaaaaand I’m not even talking about the cookie dough. I know, right? We’ll get to these babies in a minute.

So about that coolest thing ever. Thanks so the incredible folks ever at Fitfluential, I got to take a field trip to visit the Lorna Jane store in Santa Monica.

Walking into the store is like being transported into a paradise where you can be all fit and workout in clothes that make you look like a human being, and not an oompa loompa. That’s important.


My tour guide through this wonderful new world was a wonderful fellow Fitfluential ambassador named Nienessa. She held my hand and led me around as I followed, wide-eyed and giddy, like a kid in a candy store. Except this candy store makes your skinny jeans looser, and not tighter.

Naturally, I had to try on one of everything. Of course. Here’s outfit #1:

Outfit Numero Dos (I’m working on my Spanish. Impressive, no?)

And this is the outfit I went with!

I’ve always thought turquoise is a lucky color for me because I’m a December baby, so it’s my birthstone. Isn’t the back beauteous?

I just can’t get over these pants! Can you? No, of course you can’t. These pants are just so amazing I can hardly stand it.

I know this is all fine and dandy, but let’s get down to the real stuff. How do the clothes really perform?

Folks, these. clothes. perform. 10/10. A++. I tested them out initially while doing the 100 workout and I actually jumped up and down more after the workout was over because I was just so darn happy.

You know how you sometime, er, jiggle, when you workout? No jiggliness AT ALL with this gear. None. Zippo. It was awesome.

Bottom line? Lorna Jane is my new favorite workout gear, and it really should be yours too. Want to know more about your new favorite company? Great! Their motto is MOVE NOURISH BELIEVE (which I love.)

They are an Australian company, but thank goodness they now have store locations in Malibu, Marina del Rey, Santa Monica Place, Westlake Village, Topanga and Huntington Beach opening Sept. 8. You can find them on Facebook and Twitter, with super fancy hashtags #movenourishbelieve and #nowmoveit.

Oh, and I made cookie dough. It takes like Biscoff cookie butter. You need to make it. And then eat it in some Lorna Jane swag instead of working out.

But you didn’t hear that from me.

Cookie dough that tastes like Biscoff cookie butter? Whaaa?

How amazing is this comment from a wonderful person named Jess on my Zucchini Skiillet Cobbler post? Amazingly awesome.

“Hello there. I stumbled upon your blog yesterday and I have not stopped reading since. I am in awe of the amazing things you are able to create with so few calories. As a fellow baker and lover of all things dessert I am so excited to be able to eat cookies and cakes on my diet. I made your cauliflower risotto last night and almost died from the deliciousness. You have gained one devoted follower over here! Keep those recipes coming!”

    • Congragulations on your big win, my dear! I am a total almond milk junkie, and I happen to love the sunflower seed milk. I'll send your info along to the company ASAP!

      • Actually, I will be in New York that weekend, probably doing a lot of eating, too. I'm bummed I can't make it to Foodbuzz, but they seem to have moved the date earlier. On the other hand, we don't live THAT far away, so at some point we should just hang out someplace. =)

    • Thank you so much, Shannon! The purpose of molasses in this recipe is to mimic the flavor of brown sugar, but I don't think the final product will suffer much at all if you simply left it out (although I haven't tried it myself). Hope this helps!

  13. Oh goodness gracious~why oh why do I know now about Lorna Jane?! I go to santa monica so often, and in fact, I was there last night! I'm just afraid that if I go there I'll never come out for wandering around oohh-ing and aah-ing at everything :) And yes, you chose some gorgeous items Kelly!

  15. The recipe didn't work for me it was too liquidy :( would it be because I made my own coconut and almond flour?

    • Hi Adelaide, and thank you for making this recipe! Yes, I think the homemade coconut flour is the culprit. Making homemade coconut flour (from what I hear) is a very long, involved process that involves grinding, dehydrating... and even then the results may not work. I recommend using store-bought coconut flour, but I think homemade almond flour is great. Hope this helps!

  16. I just found your site and have been hopping around a bit, Pinning like mad. Thank you SO MUCH for your recipes. I keep finding "healthy" cookie recipes, etc. on other sites that add up to 130+ calories per cookie...not worth it! I can't wait to try your figure-friendly treats!!! I'm so excited to get some almond flour and start enjoying desserts without the guilt. Thanks again.
