The Guilt-Free Cookie You’ll Want to Bake Again and Again
The secret to this recipe lies in the swap: instead of refined sugar, xylitol or birch sugar adds a natural sweetness without the spike in blood sugar levels.
Combined with almond flour, which is rich in protein and healthy fats, these cookies are both satisfying and blood sugar-friendly.
Here’s how to make them:
Healthy Almond Cookies
