Powerhouse Cookies

Hello again! How do you feel about fall-inspired recipes? Can you already not get enough or are you still trying to savor the last days of summer? After all, there are still a couple of days left. I’m going to be honest. I am all in at this point. I tried holding out as long as possible, but finally caved last week.

No matter which side your own, today’s recipe is for you. It definitely serves as a reminder that fall is just around the corner, but does so with ease. Pretty much the perfect thing to kick off fall baking with, if you ask me.

Powerhouse Cookies… these are SO delicious and will quickly become a healthy go-to cookie recipe!

These cookies are near and dear to my heart. There’s nothing I love more than a good cookie. It never gets old and if I had my way, I would eat them all day long. But since that isn’t really an option, I created a cookie recipe that makes some of the most scrumptious, satisfying, and healthiest cookies I ever came across. A cookie I can actually feel good about eating – so good they’re more than acceptable to have as a breakfast treat.

They contain no refined sugar, and are gluten and dairy-free as well. But you would never know by the way they taste.  The chewiness is out of this world delicious. Cranberries, cinnamon, and applesauce – all of which sweetly point to fall.

I love having a healthy go-to cookie recipe this time of year. A light and healthy option that makes you feel just as good as most comfort foods.

    Could I use regular flour instead of almond flour? Thanks

      I was wondering the same thing if we can use regular flour.

    I'm making these for the second time today. My super picky eater son loves them! I'm going to double the vanilla and cinnamon this time as we both agreed they'd be a bit better with more cinnamon flavor. Thanks for this awesome recipe!

    Made these just now. Discovered I didn't' have apple sauce, so subbed coconut oil. Really good and disappearing fast. Thanks for posting.
