For those familiar with the “Yoga cookies” from our storefront days, these cookies are a revamped, gluten-free version.
Packed with whole ingredients like oats, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut, these cookies are a nutritional powerhouse. Whether you enjoy them as a midday pick-me-up or a grab-and-go breakfast, rest assured that you’re treating your body to goodness with every bite.
At the heart of these delicious cookies lies the nutritional powerhouse known as coconut oil. Rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil has been celebrated for its numerous health benefits. MCTs are known for their quick and efficient conversion into energy.
Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a fatty acid with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Lauric acid has been linked to improved heart health and a strengthened immune system.
In addition to the coconut oil, these cookies boast the warm and comforting flavor of cinnamon. Beyond its amazing smell, cinnamon is renowned for its impressive health benefits. Studies suggest that cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar levels, making it a valuable spice for those with diabetes or insulin resistance.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14633804/
Cinnamon also possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, contributing to its potential role in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. By including cinnamon in your diet, you’re not only enhancing the taste of your treats but also supporting your body in its journey towards optimal health.
