Sugarless Breakfast Cookies

If you love cookies but don’t love all that added sugar, then these Sugarless Breakfast Cookies are perfect for you. Most commercial cookies are full of sugar and unhealthy fats. Our Sugarless Breakfast Cookies have no sugar added and are a great source of fibre and healthy fats.

No Sugar = Better Health

One great way to improve your health quickly is to reduce or eliminate all added sugar from your diet. A diet high in refined sugar has been associated with many chronic health conditions including obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimers, and chronic inflammation.

Naturally Sweet

Our Sugarless Breakfast Cookies are sweetened naturally with mashed bananas and dried fruit. Made with whole plant-based foods, only 2 or 3 of these will keep you satiated until your next meal. Double the recipe and freeze what you don’t eat now. Then you have a go-to snack whenever you crave a sugary treat. Enjoy them for breakfast with some fresh fruit and dairy-free yogurt.
