Gut-Friendly White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe for Dessert

Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies Your Tummy Will Love

Committing to a healthier lifestyle doesn’t mean you have to refuse sweets and dessert. That would be a tragedy! While added sugar and processed sweets can be harmful to your gut, you don’t have to cut all kinds of sweets from your diet. By replacing certain ingredients with gut-friendly ones, you can enjoy your dessert without feeling guilty! Give your dessert a healthy makeover using Super Greens Probiotic powder infused inside the flourless dough. Each bite is filled with chewy cookie and melted white chocolate chips. Yummy & guilt-free! Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 1/2 cups oat flour (regular oats blended in a blender)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/2 scoops of BIOHM Probiotic Super Greens powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• Macadamia nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Take regular old fashioned oats or quick oats and blend them until they resemble a flour or powder in a blender or food processor. You will measure this after blending, not before.
2. Combine vanilla, egg, and brown sugar in a large bowl.
3. Melt coconut oil and let it cool before adding to the bowl. Mix until combined.
4. Stir in oat flour powder, baking soda, cinnamon, BIOHM Super Greens powder, and salt.

10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
11. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes and ENJOY!

Oat Flour Benefits

By replacing all-purpose flour with oat flour, you’re making your cookies gluten-free. Oat flour isn’t a type of barley, wheat, or rye. It’s easier to digest, lessening the stress on your stomach during digestion. There is also a significant improvement on the blood glucose levels of people suffering Type 2 Diabetes that were fed oatmeal in a controlled study.

Effects of Gluten to the Gut

If you have gluten intolerance or sensitivity, then eating baked goods can be uncomfortable and even dangerous for you. But what exactly does gluten do to the gut? The protein peptides gliadin and glutenin make gluten sticky and ideal to use as a binder and filler for processed foods. It’s also what keeps the nutrients in plants intact. If it holds the nutrients of grains, then why has it become a problem for the gut? Sadly, the hybridization of grains used for food has led to gut problems and intolerance. It makes the digestive system prone to inflammation which eventually develops into other forms of bowel issues.

Your body produces an enzyme (tissue transglutaminase or tTG) that breaks down gluten into gliadin and glutenin. For people with gluten intolerance, their gut immune system called the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) identifies gliadin as a harmful substance and attacks it. The GALT also attacks the tTG, creating havoc in your gut. Since the tTG is responsible for holding the microvilli in your intestine together, your body won’t be able to absorb the nutrients you need from the food you eat.

What Are Microvilli? These are small bristle-like protrusions in the walls of organs and cells that help absorb nutrients and water.
