Everyone loves them, and we're huge fans of cinnamon stars, too.

[] Especially in winter, it gives your body what it needs to combat the cold. And in this flour-free version, you can enjoy the cinnamon temptation this year without any sin, but with functional vitamins to help you concentrate .

Ingredients for about 30 cinnamon stars

130 g ground hazelnuts

130 g ground almonds

100 g coconut blossom sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp cocoa powder

½ tbsp turmeric

½ tbsp lemon juice

1 glass of water mixed with WILD BREW : This is how your first mushroom cookies are made. The winter spice mix combined with coffee and iron gives these cinnamon stars a special Christmas flavor with an extra kick.

2-3 FOCUS POWER BALLS : Because we love cinnamon, we've turned these cinnamon stars into a Christmassy snack. Your extra benefit: The POWER BALLS contained in the dough support your concentration with vitamins B5 and B12.

Preparation:

Crush the POWER BALLS and let them soak in a little water.
Dissolve WILD BREW in a glass of cold water.
Combine all ingredients (except WILD BREW) in a bowl and knead the dough thoroughly. You can either use a hand mixer with a dough attachment or by hand (be careful, it's sticky!).
Gradually add WILD BREW and continue kneading. The consistency should not be too dry, but also not contain too much liquid, and should be able to form into a large lump.
Place the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour. This makes it easier to roll out later.
Preheat oven to 200ºC top/bottom heat or 180ºC fan-assisted.
Roll out the dough on a wooden board and cut out stars.
Bake the cinnamon stars for about 6-8 minutes. Check them occasionally – they shouldn't be much darker than the raw dough.
