Cranberry, Yacon & Ginger Cookies
Cookies are the ultimate dessert – they can be a satisfying snack, an after-dinner sweet tooth craving, or even a nutrient-rich breakfast. They just have to contain the right ingredients. Surprise your mom this Mother’s Day and let her indulge in these delicious superfood cookies.
These cranberry, yacon, and ginger cookies are dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and basically sugar-free. They’re also perfectly crunchy and chewy, making you reach for them whenever those cravings hit. You can eat them on the go, crumble them on top of your smoothie bowls instead of granola, or even dip them in your homemade chocolate sauce.
The superfood ingredients in these cookies speak for themselves, bringing on a plethora of incredible health benefits to the table, from lowering inflammation and fighting damaging free radicals to boosting your immune system and aiding in cancer protection.
Yacon syrup makes these cookies naturally sweet, without any added sugars or artificial sweeteners. It’s a low-glycemic sweetener that’s suitable even for diabetics, allowing them to indulge in this sweet treat without fear of their blood glucose spiking up.
Ginger powder is historically known to help boost your immune system, promote healthy digestion, and balance out your blood glucose levels. It adds a really nice kick to these healthy cookies, spicing up your day and increasing your energy levels.
