Have you baked with mulberries before? If not, it is going to be your new go-to! The best tasting and freshest mulberries I ever had are from Iran and I have a big bag of them. Mulberries are great sources of antioxidants, vitamin C and iron. Each bite of these cookies has a delicious taste of mulberry oatmeal goodness.
Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 cup whole old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup oat flour
• ¼ cup coconut sugar
• 1 egg, I didn’t try with flax egg but think it would work
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• ¼ cup honey, can sub for maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons plant sterol, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ cup chocolate chips, *optional
• ¼ cup mulberries, stems removed
Method:
1. In a medium bowl combine the mashed banana, honey, plant sterol and egg. Slowly add in the whole oats, oat flour and coconut sugar.
2. Next stir in the cinnamon, baking soda and pinch of salt.
3. Lastly, fold in the mulberries and chocolate chips. Place bowl in fridge for 20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop form about ~1 heaping tablespoon of batter on sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, let cool.
Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
