Gluten-Free Oat Flour Thumbprint Cookies
Gluten-Free Oat Flour Thumbprint Cookies This recipe was inspired by Valentines’ day, I thought it’s better late than never! This is a wonderful way to prepare a delightful treat for yourself or someone you love. The gooey texture and chocolatey melted frosting will keep you coming back until the cookies have vanished into thin air. This recipe contains healthy plant-based alternatives and antioxidants. Raw Carob Powder (chocolate alternative) is packed with micronutrients, fiber, low in fat, and has a sweet aroma which is ideal for those who love to eat regular chocolate or milk chocolate. Raw Carob Powder grows on trees, in a pod, then dried into powder form. This is also a safe chocolate replacement for those who want to reduce symptoms related to diabetes, high blood sugar/cholesterol, inflammation, or anyone who’s trying to be mindful of either, reducing sugar in their diet or caffeine.
Healthy Tip: Carob is naturally low in sugar, fibrous, low in sodium, and a great substitution for those who are losing weight.
