I was craving cookies and I whipped up these babies in no time! They’re delicious and nutritious, made with healthy functional ingredients AND are easy on the gut! These are also gluten and dairy free if you have any allergies.
One things that makes me so happy is dessert made with clean ingredients!
It’s the little things for me. It’s amazing how desserts can actually be good for you when made with the right foods. This concept tends to be hard for people to understand because they’ve been eating processed refined sugar their entire life so they don’t know what real sugar and sweetness actually tastes like and their tastes buds tell them things aren’t sweet enough. When you switch to eating real sugars like maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, agave, dates etc. fake, processed, refined sugar starts to taste ultra sweet and doesn’t satisfy. I have such a sweet tooth so when I started exploring healthier baked goods several years ago I was hooked!
