I’ve been CRAVING cookies so I just had to make some 😋 For scale, the recipe called for 2 cups sugar, 2 cups flour and 3 cups oats. (Full recipe below). I subbed in 1 cup of honey instead of sugar and a splash of molasses. Super delicious! My hubby and littles didn’t notice any difference. I hear so often that it doesn’t make a difference for blood sugar whether it’s honey or sugar, but there’s so much more to the story! Unpasteurized honey is much less refined, more natural and better for the body! I can tell the difference in my own body and how it makes me feel, even if I cut the sugar in half it still makes me feel “yucky”, honey doesn’t do that.
Raw honey has antioxidants that may play a role in preventing heart disease.
It has Antibacterial and anti fungal properties. It’s one of my go to remedies for colds etc. Raw honey and pure lemon juice in warm water I’ve found to be super effective.
Raw honey has also shown immune boosting and anti cancer benefits.
It’s also a potent prebiotic, meaning it nourishes the good bacteria that live in the intestines, which are crucial not only for digestion but overall health.
Refined sugar has none of those benefits and can cause damage in so many areas! It’s worth it to make a switch like this when you can. And when it makes little difference in taste and texture, why not?? 😃
Full recipe:
1 cup butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup honey, splash of molasses, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 3 cups oatmeal, chocolate chips (measure with your heart ☺️❤️)
Cream butter; add raw honey, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well. Add dry ingredients. Roll into balls and flatten. Bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy! 😋😋
