So my cookie pic isn’t the most exciting, buttt these breakfast cookies are simple to make, yummy & a great grab & go for breakfast or a snack.
So how are these healthy?
- No baking sugar
- All natural
- Uses ginger, which has many health benefits (see juicing post for more information)
- Offers fiber & protein from oats, coconut flour, pumpkin puree & banana
These cookies contain 1 T of organic blackstrap molasses.
Molasses adds the best flavor when looking for a gingerbread taste!
I like to compare blackstrap molasses to dark chocolate. It’s not as healthy as a carrot, but it is a better for you sweetener that offers many health benefits as well.
