Healthy, guilt-free alternatives for cookie lovers
Cookie lovers, you no longer have to consider your favorite snack a guilty pleasure.
Did you know you can get the same chewy-centered goodness without having to worry about unhealthy sweeteners and sky-high calories?
With this guide, you can also switch to some vegan and diabetic-friendly delights that are equally as delicious.
1. The "Sinless Chocolate Dream" from Baba Bake
If you're worrying that it sounds too good to be true, fear not!
"Sinless" means only 1.8g net carbs per chocolate-y piece. It’s flourless, low-carb, preservative-free and diabetic-friendly.
Instead of flour and sugar, the cookie was made using almond meal and monkfruit sweetener — a fruit-based, zero-calorie, zero-glycemic substitute.
2. Protein cookies from Oscar's Deli
Yes, it's a cookie that actually brings you closer to your fitness goals.
These palm-sized snacks made by Oscar's Deli are moist, delicious, and high in fiber and protein.
To be ultra-specific, Oscar says each cookie contains the following:
Calories: 248.3
Protein: 15.0g
Carbs: 21.9g
Fiber: 14.0g
Fat: 15.7g
3. Gluten-free Dark Knight cookies from Mana Bites
Congratulations, you just discovered a place which prides itself for both healthy and zero-waste snacks.
Instead of all-purpose, this heavenly cookie was made using not one but three different flours instead — almond, coconut and cashew — giving it a dense, chewy texture.
4. Vegan chocolate cookies from VKitchen
You can relax!
These conscientious handcrafted cookies are not only 100% vegan and 100% organic.
They're also wonderfully gluten-free, dairy free, egg free, and free from refined sugar, preservatives, and artificials.
BONUS: Gluten-free crinkles from Homebaked by Sacha
Technically, a crinkle is not a cookie, so this is a bonus.
All treats made by Homebaked by Sacha are sugar-free, flourless, gluten-free and keto-friendly, or low-carb.
Also, just so you know: They also have a decadent signature cheesecake and brazo de mercedes (or its tasty brother, brazo de ube).
