These crunchy carob cookies are gluten-free, sugar-free, and full of good-for-you ingredients like almonds, oats, sesame seeds, and ghee. They’re sweetened with only date syrup and carob powder and are perfect for those moments when a cookie craving strikes! Enjoy them with a cup of unsweetened tea, chicory coffee, or kombucha.
Carob flour or powder is a great cacao alternative. It’s made from dried, roasted carob tree pods, it looks a lot like cocoa powder, and if you’re trying to cut back on the amount of sugar you consume, you can use carob powder as a natural sweetener in baked goods. It has a unique and slightly sweet taste and is rich in fiber, calcium, copper, potassium, manganese, and vitamins B2, B3, and B6.
