Flourless Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Paleo, Naturally Sweetened)

Flourless Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Paleo, Naturally Sweetened)

Flourless Pumpkin Spice Cookies are soft, chewy and full of fall flavour! These gluten and grain free cookies are naturally sweetened with maple syrup making them the perfect healthy treat for Thanksgiving and all fall long.

DID YOU KNOW? Artificial sweeteners may be holding you back from losing excess weight – and could be causing you to gain weight!

Artificial sweeteners affect your food cravings and your ability to manage your body’s signals for hunger and fullness. These sweeteners are very addictive unlike natural sweeteners that leave you feeling more satisfied.

So, if you tend to use artificial sweeteners or refined sugar products like Splenda, agave, aspartame or sugar, I highly recommend replacing these with unrefined natural sweeteners like maple syrup and raw honey.

Unrefined natural sweeteners contain higher levels of beneficial nutrients, antioxidants and enzymes.

Try my chewy Flourless Pumpkin Spice Cookies with maple syrup. When used in moderation, maple syrup can help to better manage blood sugar, all while creating great tasting recipes.

Ferrero Rocher Date Balls (Paleo, Naturally Sweetened)

DID YOU KNOW? Dates have high levels of soluble fiber, which keep bowel movements regular by adding bulk to stool and helping it move faster through the intestines.

If you suffer from constipation, try adding dates into your diet as a natural constipation relief remedy. Consume in moderation.

In addition, dates are packed with vitamins and minerals and are a perfect natural sweetener and sugar alternative. I incorporate them into gut healing smoothies (like my Egg Nog Smoothie & Pumpkin Pie Smoothie) and sweet treats (check out my recipes below).
