Pumpkin oatmeal energy cookies with peanut butter, chia seeds, agave syrup and sprinkled with chocolate are extremely crunchy. You won’t be able to resist these delicious vegan cookies with no added sugar.
AGAVE SYRUP
Agave syrup is a natural sweetener similar to honey that is used to sweeten different foods and drinks.
Agave Syrup is derived from the sap of the agave plant and heated at a low temperature so all of the nutrients of the agave remain.
Agave syrup is sweeter than regular sugar so you need less of it. It has a very low glycemic index as well. It doesn’t crystalize and dissolves quickly in hot or cold liquid.
Therefore agave is an ideal substitute for white sugar.
CHIA SEEDS
TINY SEEDS WITH GREAT POWER
Chia seeds are extremely tiny but nutritious seeds that originate from Mexico. They have been appreciated for thousands of years and represented an important part of the diet of the Maya, Aztecs, and Indians.
They are considered to be one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids contributing to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. They have a high protein content which contributes to maintaining as well as growing muscle mass and to the maintenance of healthy bones.
If we mix them with liquid, the dietary fibre in them causes them to form a gel.
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER
Nature’s Finest peanut butter is made out of 100% natural roasted peanuts and, as opposed to other similar products, does not contain added salt, sugar, palm oil or preservatives.
For an incredible flavour and a perfect compromise between the smooth and crunchy texture, we added raw cacao and dark chocolate chunks that will undoubtedly satisfy the needs of all chocoholics.
No matter your goals, it is a nutritious, delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed any time of the day, especially when you need something sweet but guilt-free – absolute love in a jar!
So delicious, you’ll want to eat it with a spoon!
