Grain Free Granola Cookies

Granola Cookies

These Grain Free Granola Cookies have become one of my favorite snacks/treats that I can feel good about eating. Loaded with nuts and seeds giving you healthy fats and fiber your body needs and nothing it doesn’t.

My neighbor and friend of mine makes Granola Cookies that she and her family love to eat for breakfast on the go but they are loaded with sugar. She challenged me to make a version that’s sugar free. I decided to accept the challenge and also make it egg free and grain free while I am at it.

You may notice… I love a challenge. Ha!

Well, thanks to monkfruit sweetener (to replace white sugar) and more seeds, I succeeded AND she approved!

With monkfruit, you still get a little sweetness but none of the downsides of refined sugar. You can read my post, Slash Sugar, on why we should limit sugar consumption and ideally avoid refined sugars.

My go to monkfruit sweetener is Lakanto and you can purchase here on Amazon.

Note - while, they say it can be used as a 1 to 1 ratio for substituting white refined sugar, Monkfruit Sweetener is a little different and sweeter taste.

These cookies are are satisfying for a mid day snack or breakfast on the go!

While I call these a cookie, they are not as sweet or soft as a cookie and are more crunchy like granola. You can eat these as often as you like… guilt free!

So go ahead, make some and let me know what you think!
