These cookies are made gluten free, vegan and refined-sugar free! These vegan Ayurvedic cookies are a mindful delight and are made with simple, wholesome ingredients that are both healthful & grounding. Almond flour and oats make up the base of this wellness cookie. Adding in cinnamon spice, oat yoghurt, chia and hemp round out the nutty texture of the cookie. Pecans for crunch and a tablespoon of vegan ghee (yes, I found vegan ghee!) make for a soft yet crisp texture.
These cookies contain hemp seeds – which are absolutely nutrient-packed! A fabulous source of protein and omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids. They also contain high amounts of vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc.
To snack or not to snack, that is the question. When it comes to these ayurvedic cookies – they are made with ingredients healthy enough for an on-the-go breakfast or lunch. Or if you’re in need of some grounding at any time of day – these cookies contain nuts & seeds that will leave you feeling energized and balanced. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
